Dear Members of the Board<br>
<br>
as you know I'm organizing the 2015 Europe Conference of FOSS4G in Como.<br>
<br>
The registration fees that we (the organizing Committee) decided to propose are very low: (50 euro for students, 100 for all the other participants). Collecting sponsors is difficult and therefore the only thing that I can do is to reduce the costs.<br>
<br>
I want to have high level invited speakers and I'm collecting some distinguished names (coming on the basis of simply friendship with me):<br>
<br>
Alessadro Annoni (JRC; INSPIRE; GEOSS)<br>
<br>
KI-Juone Li (Korea --> link to FOSS4G International, OGC)<br>
<br>
Georg Gartner (ICA)<br>
<br>
Chen Jun (ISPRS) or the General Secretary of ISPRS<br>
<br>
I asked Jeff if he can be here presenting the mission and vision of OSGeo in Europe (and in the world) for next years, but I clarified that I'm not able to support his travel or his stay here. In case this will be no possible, for economic reason that I understand
perfectly (me too I have very often difficulties in attending conferences here and there in the world)
<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">I kindly ask you who is the person I can mention on the website of the Conference that will present OSGeo in such an occasion.</span> There are members of the Board living in Europe: for them costs are definitely less.<br>
Please consider that I'm NOT asking the registration to invited speakers and definitely, if I saved money, I would reimburse part of their cost. But at the moment I'm not able to ensure this.<br>
Many thanks and have a nice sunday.<br>
Maria<br>
