[Conference-europe] when and where

Sun Aug 17 13:10:21 PDT 2014

At the moment, there is only one proposal, which is Como, but there
was no call for 2015s venue yet

this e-mail thread should be about, what is the criteria for choosing
venue, everybody aware of various options we have?

I understand the universities issue, but FOSS4G-Europe is not that big
(and maybe it will remain rather small), that we can still fit into
small venues. I liked the organization of Vienna Code Sprint - it was
done in cooperation with city of Vienna and we fit in comfortably.

I do not think Europe Code Sprint has to timely overlap with the (next
year) U.S.-based C tribe, but March-April is IMHO better, then later.
But it was nice, that we could join events like NASA World Wind
Challenge  and possibly others as well, not sure, how possible this
should be, if we move FOSS4G-Europe to march/april then.

After discussing this, shell we officially, as conference-europe
committee go for call for venue?  Everybody has his/her criteria?
