[FOSS4G2016] LOC FOSS4G 2016 - please wake up again!
<br><br><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;">Dear LOC,<br><br>this is just a reminder, that we aren't done with the preparation of <br>our conference! I am sort of unhappy, that only three (including me) <br>people joined IRC yesterday. There are several important points to do <br>and to decide. On top of that, we aren't done with the keynoters yet <br>although this is a very very important point and we really really fast <br>acceptance or rejection of the people requested.<br><br>Some of the most important and VERY urgent points:<br><br>@Codrina:<br>I know that you asked somebody for keynoting on "Open Data", who <br>obviously hesitates. Please give him/her a short-term deadline, <br>otherwise we'd have to ask somebody else *A*S*A*P*.<br><br>@Marc:<br>What about a keynoter for Disaster Management *A*S*A*P*?</blockquote></div><br>He is still awaiting approval from NGA-management. If not received by next week, then I go after suggestion made by Gert Jan<br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;"><br><br>@Marc/Arnulf:<br>What is the state on "Cleaning up the webpage?</blockquote></div><br>See separate mail to Carmen.<br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;"><br><br>@Marc:<br>Status of Media Partners? What did we do to get more of them? Makes <br>sense to have them *NOW* not in two month.</blockquote></div><br>See my earlier mails on EUROGEO as a partner and Arnulfs mail on Geospatial Media.<br><br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;"><br><br>@PR&M:<br>No reaction yet on my request to really spread the opening of <br>registration press release, but no other actions at all.</blockquote></div><br>Will prepare a formal press release for the magazines (this is a standard format in the sector) and run it by Codrina for possible extra facts.<br><br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;"><br><br>@Arnulf:<br>Need a short description of Wordbank-keynoter with picture ASAP (see <br>also http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/294)<br><br>@All<br>We need a decision on how to proceed with the travel grants. I <br>personally "+1" the proposal Christoph made here:<br>https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:FOSS4G_2016_Travel_Grants<br>If no more votes come in until this evening, we adopt that.</blockquote></div>+1<br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;"><br><br>@All<br>We have only 3 of 6 keynoters fixed yet. Assuming Codrina and Marc will <br>bring in one, there is still one remaining slot. We *could* ask OSgeo to <br>present their "new strategy", I personnally would prefer asking Andrea <br>for talking about FOSS and Geospatial and OSGeo and Location Tech .... <br>opinions? Other ideas?<br><br></blockquote></div>Andrea/LocationTech requires a slot in the main hall. Would be insulting not to do so (especially after all the work Jody and I did to get her involved, the negative response that followed and the tentative mails since). And we really want to be exposed on their 140K mailing list!<br>That it would perhaps conflict with Jody's entry/presentation on OSGeo strategy...well...perhaps we could squeeze an extra slot somewhere in the main hall....or make it into a more (inter)active gathering in the central visitors area (the round theater)<br><br><div><blockquote class="mori" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px solid #CCC;padding-left:1ex;">You see, a lot of important things, please wake up ;-)<br><br>Till<br>_______________________________________________<br>FOSS4G2016 mailing list<br>FOSS4G2016@lists.osgeo.org<br>http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2016<br></blockquote></div></body></html>
