[OSGeo-Conf] questions about FOSS4G2008 bid

[Gavin Fleming]

Hi
 
I am working on a bid and have the following questions at this stage:

1.	Which body undertakes dinancial transactions for the conference? Any local company or organisation identified by the LOC, or OSGEO internationally, or something else?
2.	The RFP states that the conference should break even and if there is a loss, OSGeo will cover it. If there is a profit, where does that go?
3.	Is translation a requirement or is the entire conference in English?
4.	In the evaluation criteria in the RFP it states that it is desirable for the conference to move around. Please clarify what this means.
5.	Our national GIS organisation, GISSA (Geoinformation Society of South Africa) is planning a major national GIS conference in 2008 and rather than have it it March as planned and risk splitting the local market for GIS conferences (it will be difficult for many people here to justify to their employers going to two conferences), we would like to consider running it in parallel, or overlapping, with FOSS4G2008, in Spet/Oct 2008. Please let me know if this is OK in principle then we can discuss further.

thanks and regards

Gavin Fleming
