[OSGeo-Conf] Announcements about FOSS4G bid schedule and bid schedule preparation?

[Eli Adam]

Hi all,

I've prepared a rough draft for a process outline and new schedule
[6].  Please review and revise. Otherwise, express some positive
support.

I have a few thoughts about the schedule: Do we really want to be
asking questions and making the decision during FOSS4G 2015?  Should
we ensure that the decision is *after* FOSS4G 2015 (future FOSS4G
focus at 2015 should be 2016 not 2017)?

I've also started a cursory 2017 RFP process in SVN [7].  Please
update as needed.

I've prepared a draft for a press release [8], please revise.

Should we make an OSGeo email alias, rfp at osgeo.org for any private
communications (likely sponsors)?

The website RFP page [9] needs to be edited too.  I think that I have
rights to do this once we decide on details.

Thanks and best regards, Eli
