<p>I won't be at FOSS4G, but suggest adding another item to the
agenda:</p>
<p>"Paid coordinator role - should one be introduced?"</p>
<p>An regular feature in "Lessons Learned" is volunteer burn out,
and lack of experience carried from one FOSS4G to the next. This
in part has been mitigated by FOSS4G global events being selected
in locations where FOSS4G regional events have already been
tested.</p>
<p>So question is: Should OSGeo sponsor a person or organisation to
act as "FOSS4G supporter" who has the role of collating FOSS4G
knowledge and sharing it from one event to the next, paid out of
the profits of FOSS4G events?<br>

<p>Dear Steven,</p>
<p>even if I am not very essential regarding these topics: I'd
prefer not to block the time where talks are given, i.e. to
postpone the meeting in the early evening or morning.</p>

Hi everyone
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Apologies for the long period of inactivity on
the conference list (prepping 2 talks for FOSS4G and
helping to run FOSS4GUK have taken a chunk of my free
time).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We talked in the past about having a F2F while
many of us are in Bonn for FOSS4G. In particular I think
it would be very helpful to talk through some of the long
standing topics around FOSS4G events before we get into
the CfP for 2018, there are some topics where we need
guidance from the board (e.g financial expectations,
relationships with 3rd parties, guarantees). The meeting
is open to anyone who is active on the Conference list,
board members and anyone else with an interest in the
plans for FOSS4G 2018 (i.e. it’s an open meeting)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have drafted a provisional agenda at <a

href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_F2F_2016"
class="">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_F2F_2016</a>
add to it, edit it or comment on sections (particularly if
you won’t be able to make it to Bonn) - please attribute
your comments so that it is easy to see who said what.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have set up a doodle poll to try and find a
time that works for the most people <a

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Once we have a time slot I will ask Till if he
can provide us with a room to meet</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Looking forward to seeing you in Bonn</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">May the FOSS be with you :)<br class="">
