[OSGeo-Announce] FOSS4G PDX 2014: Community voting open through May 5th

[Anne Ghisla]

What presentations do you want to see at FOSS4G?  Now is the time to
tell us!

The FOSS4G community at large can now read and score potential
presentations.  The conference committee will use the aggregate scores
from the community review process to help choose which presentations to
accept, and to assign presentations to appropriately sized rooms.

The community review process is an important part of creating a
conference that benefits and reflects the community. Your input is a
significant part of what makes FOSS4G a great conference. Note that you
do not need to be registered for the conference to vote. And remember,
all presentations will be available online, so even if you are unable
to attend, your vote matters.

You can vote now at: http://community-review.foss4g.org/.

Please complete your voting by May 5th.
