<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Background<br>----------<br><br>Thank you to all of the 4 teams for submitting excellent letters of intent to host FOSS4G. I can tell through private discussions that each OSGeo Conference Committee member took this decision very seriously.<br>
<br>Stage 1 Results<br>---------------<br><br>The teams/letters who received 2 or more votes from committee members are: Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague. Unfortunately the team from Rome will not move onto the next stage. I do hope that the Rome local committee does come back in a future bid, as there is clearly an extremely active local community there in Italy (I attended the WebMGS event in Como last August, so I know first-hand).<br>
<br>Stage 2<br>-------<br><br>Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague local committees must now begin work on their full proposals and proposed budget. The due dates listed in the RFP are for 2011-08-01, but that obviously is too soon for a full proposal. So we will change that to one month from today, 2011-08-21. (the idea is to make sure there is enough time to produce a full proposal and budget, yet at the same time give enough time for the winning team to plan to send someone to Denver, or at least produce an invitation video: a short 10 minute slot is scheduled in the Denver closing plenary for the winning team to present its invitation <a href="http://2011.foss4g.org/program/session-schedule" target="_blank">http://2011.foss4g.org/<u></u>program/session-schedule</a>)<br>
<br>I have updated the RFP with these new dates (<a href="http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-for-proposal.pdf" target="_blank">http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/<u></u>foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-<u></u>conference-2012-request-for-<u></u>proposal.pdf</a>):<br>
<br>Proposals & Budget (Stage 2) due: 2011-08-21 (23:00 UTC)<br>Stage 2 question period: 2011-08-21 to 2011-08-26<br>Final decision: 2011-08-26<br><br><br>Thank you everyone.<br>
