I'd like to present a counter point to people who have raised
concerns.<br>
<br>
I acknowledge that an Asian conference will likely attract less
attendees, especially from US/Europe.<br>
However, I don't see that as a bad thing. US and Europe each have
successful FOSS4G regional events every year. People from those
countries won't miss out.<br>
<br>
An Asian international FOSS4G event will provide the opportunity
to consolidate regional Asian FOSS4G events.<br>
I also am reassured to see that South Korea has already held a
local FOSS4G event, and as such has proven passion and experience
in holding a FOSS4G event. And I see there being great value to be
gained through other areas within Asia collaborating.<br>
