Seems this email of mine never made it to the conference list,
before, sending again. ...<br>
<br>
I'd add to Steven's list to include (longer term needs):<br>
<br>
5. Fleshing out our handbook: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook</a>
and aligning with FOSS4G bid documentation<br>
6. Resolving our current issue of having more detailed review of
conference proposals than we have volunteer time<br>
7. Addressing our loss of collective knowledge between FOSS4G
events, with each new event starting with a new team. Ideas have
floated in the past about having a single person dedicated to FOSS4G
events. This might be a paid position<br>
8. Considering our relationship between OSGeo and LocationTech, both
of which host Open Source Geospatial events, both of which bring
unique but slightly different value propositions. 3 cities bid for
FOSS4G from North America for 2017, two teamed with LocationTech.
Debate about which city to select was dominated by whether OSGeo
should work with LocationTech, which resulted in these cities
potentially being disadvantaged. This is something the conference
committee should resolve before calling for bids.<br>
9. Understanding and formalising our position related to FOSS4G
regional and local events and working out how we can support and
help them better<br>
<br>
Cheers, Cameron<br>

<div class="">We currently don’t have a schedule of formal
meetings. Most business is transacted through the CC mailing
list with ad hoc calls or IRCs when needed (e.g. to discuss
FOSS4G bids). If the view of the members is that we should have
more formal meetings then we could institute.</div>

<div class="">
<ol class="">
<li class="">We have a vote closing today on the motion to
provide seed funding of up to $70k to the FOSS4G 2017 team.</li>
<li class="">We have an outstanding request for membership
from Maxi with Venka and Cameron’s support. I asked whether
we should vote and no one else has replied. Once that is
resolved, we may want to consider whether we need criteria
for committee membership and eligibility for voting for the
selection of global FOSS4Gs</li>
<li class="">We await a proposal from FOSS4GNA as to whether
there will be a North American regional event in 2017 in
addition to the global event. Once that is resolved, we may
want to consider whether there should be a formal policy or
process to manage potential competing events under the
FOSS4G or OSGeo banners</li>
<li class="">We will start the RfP process for FOSS4G 2018
immediately after 2016 closes, it will probably be a good
idea to review the RfP documentation and requirements before
issuing again as there have been several suggestions for
improvements.</li>
