<p>Dear Conferenc Committee!</p>
as I already wrote earlier this week, we have now received two
wonderful and exiting proposals for hosting FOSS4G 2019. The 2019'
conference will definitely take place in Europe. We have SLOC
(Sevilla LOC) and BLOC (Bucharest LOC) in the race.<br>
<br>
We have linked to the proposals in [1] and also created the Q&A
WIKI pages for the question period. This period runs from now until
*15 of December*. Please take your time, check the proposals and ask
your questions on this list. I'm sure the teams are very interested
in responding to all the crazy things we want to know. I then will
sum up the questions on the WIKI pages (or feel free to directly
write your questions there and link to the WIKI in an email to this
list).<br>
<br>
The procedure for stage 2 this year has not changed and is as
follows: On December 15th, I will ask all eligible members of this
committee to vote for their favorite and send it to our electoral
commission. The voting period ends on december, 18th 24h CET!!! We
can't count votes, that come in later!<br>
<br>
Between *16th* and *18th* of December, send your vote independently
to our two assistants:<br>
<pre wrap="">Jeff <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:jmckenna@gatewaygeomatics.com"><jmckenna@gatewaygeomatics.com></a>
Frank <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:warmerdam@pobox.com"><warmerdam@pobox.com></a></pre>
<br>
The team that receives more votes will host FOSS4G 2019. If there is
a tie, we will pass the decision on the board.
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Have fun (and budget some time for reading...)<br>
</p>
<p>Till</p>
