<p>Hi all, <br>
</p>
<p> After reading the 2025 call-for-venue [1] AND the manifesto [2]
I notice some different expectations regarding the size of the
event.<br>
The manifesto states "FOSS4G-Europe should rather be small than
big", <br>
whereas the call-for-venue asks "how to accommodate 500+
participants"and "expect 400-500 attendees". (but then again, also
states "we prefer modest costs for attendees")<br>
</p>
<p>Often there's a "tipping point" around 400 attendees, where the
rules of "economy of scale" (larger = cheaper per attendee) don't
apply anymore, <br>
but instead things get more expensive per attendee. <br>
</p>
<p>I would encourage potential host cities to mark this tipping
point in their proposal; at what point is the optimum between size
and costs for attendees. <br>

<p>Kind regards, <br>

I can take care of the last "items worth referring" tomorrow
morning. <br>
And essentially I would have no problem with the deadline
extension to <br>
mid-September (+ 2 weeks from the drafted deadline).
Objections?<br>
<br>
As a northener I have the "Winter is coming" mood already upon
me so the <br>
concept of a summer-vacation in August still strikes me as odd
<br>
sometimes... but here we are. :D<br>
