<p>+1 to putting 40 pages of past reports online and not including
in RFPs.</p>
<p> I think we should consider going further and respecting the time
of people responding to RFPs. What is worth reading in 10 years
worth of event reports?</p>
<p>Ideally, we as past chairs should be refining what we have
learned, and presenting a more concise set of guidelines. (Dare I
mention the FOSS4G Handbook.) This handbook can reference back to
source material such as Lessons Learned and foss4g reports.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Steven, I don't know whether / where they are
hosted online, but if they aren't there already I think they
should be put up somewhere, and I think it would make sense to
link to them (and any other relevant extra material) and reduce
the length of the RFP.

<div>Some questions:</div>
<div>1) are these hosted online somewhere?</div>
<div>2) the RfP has grown very long at nearly 60 pages
with 40 of those pages being past reports. Should we
host the reports online and link to them rather than
include in RfP?</div>
