<br>
Minutes:<br>
• Gao Ang reported current situation of FOSS4G preparation from LOC side.<br>
• Regarding PCO(Professional Conference Organizer) contract, LOC failed to sign a PCO contract with 3S News, a PCO company, last week. And LOC tried to find another PCO, but only to fail.<br>
• Currently LOC is not optimistic about the hosting FOSS4G 2012 successfully due to lacking of experiences and staffs.<br>
• Only 3 part time local volunteers are available in LOC now. However they don't have enough time to handle all the conference issues.<br>
• LOC started to look over all the options including canceling.<br>
• Cameron suggested a financial assessment or simulation for continuing and canceling conference.<br>
• LOC & International volunteer group looked over the possibility of hosting FOSS4G 2012 as local event.<br>
• According to Gao Ang, if LOC could not find PCO or hire full time organizer, LOC would like to cancel conference rather than make it a local event.<br>
• Cameron stated LOC should make decision soon whatever that may be.<br>
• Gao Ang will gather opinions from LOC members and then will report LOC's final decision on FOSS4G to OSGeo Board by this weekend.<br>
<br>
Pending Issues:<br>
• LOC's final decision on FOSS4G 2012 including canceling, continuing and downgrading to local event.<br>
