<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I've received a private email overnight
from a member of the FOSS4G 2012 LOC, and I have suggested that a
public statement be made within the next 24 hours.<br>
<br>
So I suggest that the board wait up to 48 hours before making a
statement, to give the LOC time to form their statement.<br>

once again, I think the board needs to formally take action
on this. Specifically, we need to announce to the community
that the 2012 international FOSS4G event is not happening
(although there might be a small regional event). We need to
act to clarify the side-channel discussions and rumors that
continue to go on about this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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>
