Simon, Gavin, Graeme, Tyler,<br>
My very rough back of envelope calculations for OCS/Events integration
is ~ 1 to 2 man months work. Is this something that any of you would
like to volunteer to contribute to?<br>

<p>Review of OCS Software:
</p>
<p>Present:
</p>
<p>From South Africa:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Gavin Fleming </li>
<li> Graeme McFerren
</li>
</ul>
<p>From Tour Hosts:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Denisa Adamova
</li>
<li> Janelle Driscoll
</li>
<li> Andrew
</li>
<li> Danniel
</li>
</ul>
<p>From OSGeo Australia:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Cameron Shorter
</li>
<li> Simon Hope sent his appologies
</li>
</ul>
<p>We discussed OCS and Tour Host's Event software.
</p>
<p>Key aims are to have continuity of presentations between FOSS4G
years.
</p>
<p>OCS doesn't support all features required by Tour Hosts, like
Finances, Accommodation booking, and a number of others.
</p>
<p>The proposed solution is to use OCS for collecting
presentations, and some of the registration work flow, then hand the
rest over to the ICS software. (I haven't captured all the details
here. Will leave that to someone else).
Changes will likely be written in PHP & MySQL, plus contractors
might need to be hired to provide hooks into the Events system.
</p>
<p>A very rough estimate of effort = 1 to 2 person months effort.
If we hire an Australian to do all this work, and costs are added to
budget, it will add ~ $50 extra per delegate (based on Cameron's very
rough back of envelope calculations)
</p>
<p>Next steps:
</p>
<p>Either:
</p>
<ol>
<li> OSGeo Board to commit money to sponsoring OCS integration.
This could be factored into the FOSS4G budget and will add ~ $50 /
person to the conference.
</li>
<li> A team of OSGeo volunteers take on the OCS development and
reduce the cost per delegate.
</li>
</ol>

I understand that the Sydney Convension Center don't have our date

But could we should nail this detail down as a matter of priority.
