[OSGeo-Conf] Evaluating proposals...

[Jeremy Morley]

On a related theme, we didn't put in a proposal because we think time is
relatively tight to organise a big event, promote it, request papers,
etc.  Would it be possible in the first quarter of 2008 to put out a
second request, for hosting in 2008?  It would give the potential
organisers much better lead time.

Regards,
Jeremy Morley
