I encourage all with an opinion on these topics, and especially
those on the conference committee and board to add their votes and

community should be helpful for a board when making decisions.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last month there has been a lot of
discussion on the subject whether or not to collaborate with
LocationTech in organizing the FOSS4G event (and if so, under
what conditions, and whats the goals of FOSS4G could and
should be)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the discussion spanned over at least 3
newsgroups it was not an easy one to follow. (unless you're
subscribed to all OSgeo-newsgroups, which I'm not)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The discussion seems to be over. However 2
monuments of this discussion remain <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">b) where to find this status ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">c) what the road map for this discussion
is. I guess the deadline is february 2015, when the Request
For Proposal for 2016 is due ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>
