Athens has a good vibe - not accessible. I'm shooting for Atlanta or

confederation of Atlanta people working it....hopefully.

>>  Dear Everyone,
>>
>> (x-posted to OSGeo & LocationTech discussion lists, please fwd to all
>> interested parties)
>>
>> As a fairly new conference, FOSS4G North America has lacked a formal
>> selection process in terms of how to select which city/venue, who was
>> organizing, and more. Until now...
>>
>> A team of concerned people from the community including many past chairs
>> of
>> North American FOSS4G events have collaborated to draft a proposal for how
>> FOSS4G North America will be governed.
>>
>> On behalf of the team, we would like to invite you to review the draft and
>> participate in the process. The review period will last until April 29th.
>> After which, we will enact the process for FOSS4G NA 2016.
>>
>> The governance document is available publicly here
>> <
>> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WlgmJgtl0LaV0EO0NtDDSnloTgsIvxu9KwddPDwX1WU/edit#
>> >.
>> Anyone can comment. All discussion takes place via. a Google group here
>> <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/foss4gna_selection>.
>>
>> A brief summary is as follows:
>>
>> The city & venue selection process will be conducted by a committee
>> consisting of:
>>
>>    - The 3 most recent FOSS4G NA chairs
>>    - One appointed representative from OSGeo
>>    - One appointed representative from LocationTech
>>
>> The committee will select the next conference location factoring their
>> votes, plus votes from attendees & sponsors from the previous conference.
>> The same committee will also select the organization to run the logistics
>> for the conference. The conference chair will be elected at the previous
>> conference by conference attendees.
>>
>> If you're interested, please do join the Google group to discuss and
>> participate. Thanks in advance.
>>
>> Kind regards,
>>
>> Andrew
