a) A «working meeting» with some of you (those who want to be intensively involved on the project), with the clear objective to put the basis for an FOSS Edu Meeting in 2013, to define the main ideas and lines for a future meeting, to look for funding options, etc... as well as some other tasks/activities, or

Face2face edu meeting, with a preset agenda would be the best. Email list, IRC etc are not very good in my opinion. In fact, I would prefer a well-done email list meeting because I tend to need time to think :)

I'm not sure what you mean by the "FOSS Edu Meeting in 2013"?

I believe the next good opportunity after Girona is Nottingham. I assume the OSGIS will run next summer too?



b) otherwise, are you thinking about a Research & Edu FOSS Meeting as a parallel session during the Jornadas de SIG Libre (21st-23rd March) open to everybody under a registration fee (as low as possible) to cover the conference expenses, sharing the same venue as well as the coffee breaks, lunches and dinner with the Spanish FOSS4G. Now, I'm in time to organize something like that, to book a room in the Auditorium, to make a call for abstracts, a call for tutorials, etc... It could be a nice way to share experiences and knowledge among all the attendants... ...

Have you received any abstracts for the english-language track of the conference yet? How does it look, will it happen?
