Arnulf has written a related Wiki page long time before the discussion
started:

At least in Europe the "FOSSGIS" conference series is known in my opinion.
I also don't feel that people confuse the conferences too much, on the contrary,
they mentally link these events which makes sense to me.

I agree that the 2008 RFP should be issued soon.
