<p dir="ltr">OK,</p>
<p dir="ltr">My feeling from this discussion is to stick with early July and possibly not to overlap with Inspire conference.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I still hear Karel's voice and understand his concerns. Anybody else would prefer earlier in the year?</p>
<p dir="ltr">@Stephan: I still see valid option to think about having less talks and more doing during foss4g. Sprinting, hacking, getting teams together.</p>
<p dir="ltr">@Maria: Foss4g-global in Europe is no reason not to have Foss4-europe as well. Remember Bucharest? It should be little shifted in the topic, but still. Or am I wrong?</p>
<p dir="ltr">@local chapters, any opinion about time slot? what about ogc events?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Otherwise, I suggest July, since it had most support so far.</p>

Hi, I think that problem is to decide, for whom conference has to be<br>
organised. Probably for academic sector seems summer better, for commercial<br>
sector not to much suitable<br>

<br>
let me add that the semester problem is not just one of the organisers: many<br>
participants are students or university researchers, and for them leaving<br>
for a week during semester usually is hard, if not unfeasible.<br>
<br>
my 2 cents,<br>

I don't know from the logistic point of view what is needed (but I suppose a<br>
computer room or at least a room with good wifi connection). How many people<br>
are expected to attend a Code Sprint? There are special reasons why a Code<br>
Sprint can't be in summer?<br>

summer. Having the conference at the University means also involve students<br>
in the FOSS4G world and this, in my opinion, is an added value. For other<br>

conference dates a year in advance, there are possibilities of organize<br>
ourselves.<br>
