Hello to Gao Ang and the Beijing team.<div><br></div><div>I just wanted to follow up on Arnulf's note and encourage you to get a simple web page up with basic information (at least dates) as soon as possible. I have been asked about dates also, people are interested in planning already!</div>
<div><br></div><div>If there is anything I can do to help point you in the right direction please let me know. I think it's important to get a logo shortly - we used the site <a href="http://crowdspring.com">crowdspring.com</a> and were pleased with the results (but obviously whatever approach you prefer is fine). As a high level reference, the timeline we worked to is at <a href="http://2011.foss4g.org/content/timeline">http://2011.foss4g.org/content/timeline</a> (and this hasn't changed much from year to year).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div> Peter.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 11:27 PM, Seven (aka Arnulf) <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seven@arnulf.us">seven@arnulf.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am receiving the first requests for exact dates of FOSS4G Beijing.<br>
This information is not yet publicly available. From the conversations<br>
on this list I got this:<br>
<br>
OSGeo China: The proposed schedule is "18 Sept 2012 Tuesday" to "23<br>
Sept 2012 Sunday" for the conference.<br>
<br>
Q: The first day was dubbed "registration day", does that mean the<br>
regular conference would run from Wednesday to Sunday?<br>
<br>
We really need a FOSS4G 2012 splash screen up asap. Simple is beautiful.<br>
Just a few lines of HTML hacked in VI with a nice little logo and the<br>
exact dates are all we need for a start. This can be completely<br>
independet of the conference system we use later.<br>
<br>
For the time being I set up the FOSS4G 2012 OSGeo Wiki page by simply<br>
copying and adjusting the page of 2011 to have something to point to [1]<br>
and also asked SAC to set up a conference list [2].<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Arnulf<br>
