You have had positive comments on the board email list (some who
are also conference committee members), and no objections. <br>
<br>
I'll declare this motion as passed, and you are welcome to make
use of the FOSS4G-FR title as requested below.<br>
<br>
Best of luck with the conference.<br>
<br>
I suggest that you make use of the FOSS4G Cookbook, and add to it
with your own ideas and lessons learned.<br>

So this is official? Could be great to have a formal approval from the OSGeo
conference committee anyway.
Thanks Cameron.

<pre wrap="">Hello board,
The OSGeo-fr local chapter organized this year a french-speaking one day
event on FLOSS in the GIS field (that is, FOSS4G).
Since it was the first edition, we had a specific name for it (which was
not that appreciated by all).
We had 150 people for this event and good feedback.
In 2014 we intend to run a 2 days conference event + 1 day of workshops,
all in french. We expect to gather around 300 persons.
This event would be in Paris between the 20th and the 22nd of May, as we
are offered (free of charge) a location to organize it and this is the
only slot available.
We would like to call the conference FOSS4G-FR. We read the discussions on
"FOSS4G Brand" lately, and there does not seem to be a strict process to
follow to be able to use this name. Please correct me if things changed
since the threads we read.
As for an announcement to the board, here it is :-)
The person in charge of the project is Étienne Delay, and organization
takes place on the OSGeo Francophone mailing list, as for now.
Note that Gérald Fenoy is part of the event and could relay informations
to/from OSGeo board.
Do not hesitate if you have any question.
Vincent Picavet / Étienne Delay
