Also to the Prague team, I would point out that Denver also bid for the 2010 event and didn't get it, but we did the next time around for 2011. So I hope you will bid again next time round!<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Sorry for such a long delay, but we finally have a clear winner through voting: Beijing, China (the final vote was 9 to 5). Congratulations to Gao Ang and their local team, Beijing will be the host for the FOSS4G 2012 event (pending approval from the OSGeo Board).<br>
<br>
Karel, Jachym and the Prague team: it was such a close vote this year, that it shows how good your venue/team is for this event; I hope that this does not hinder your plans and energy :)<br>
<br>
2012 Next Steps<br>
---------------<br>
<br>
1) I will inform the OSGeo Board of the committee's decision, so that the Board can ratify this decision and announce.<br>
<br>
2) Beijing team: we have a 10 minute slot here on the FOSS4G 2011 program on this Friday for this 2012 invitation: can you quickly put together a short video or presentation? Please let me know as soon as possible.<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone!<br>
