[Conference-europe] FOSS4G Europe 2015 - call for abstracts

[Marco Minghini]

Dear all,

the FOSS4G Europe 2015 website is quite ready, and we need to have the call
for abstracts/workshops published soon.

I please ask all the committees involved (1-workshops, 2-general track,
3-academic track, 4-water track, 5-open data track, 6-library track,
7-indoor/outdoor positioning and mapping) to start working, in order to:

1) set up the track committee (especially for those committees that are
still composed of very few people) trying to make it as "European" as
possiblle, i.e. with many countries represented;

2) prepare the text of the call: as general guidelines, this can be a
10-lines description plus (where relevant) a list of possible themes;

3) decide the form of contributions you are expecting. As we'll produce
proceedings for the conference, we suggest all the committees to ask at
least for an abstract; then, please decide whether you plan also to ask for
a paper. This will be specified in the call;

4) (if you also plan to have papers) contact journal editors for publishing
a special issue related to your topic.

Each committee will be then responsible for selecting the abstracts/papers
and of course for managing its session. And the leader of each committee is
responsible for the committee!

For your personal discussions, please remember to use the private mailing
list enabling the filter on your topic. Instructions on how to do it were
in Jorge's e-mail, but if you have doubts just ask me.

Let's fix as deadline for 1) and 2) (especially for writing the text of the
call to be put on the website) *Tuesday, October 28*. This means you have
one week!
