[Conference-europe] Fwd: FOSS4G-Europe 2024

[Tõnis Kärdi]

Hi once more,

having consulted with Vasile, I'm reposting our FOSS4G Europe 2024 
proposal for a wider review to both conference-europe and conference-dev 
lists. Long story short: my bad, got the "waiting for moderator 
approval" for my initial message to conference-europe and did not go 
through the fine print immediately, which clearly stated "message body 
is too big".

Our proposal is still the same (see the forwarded mail below) but 
attachments are now replaced by links instead:

Budget plat pdf at 
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MSCHwCDz-w_xSWq-qRGF_XaRoTNVEeB9

Sorry for the confusion. If there's any questions I'd be happy to answer 
them.


All the best,

Tõnis Kärdi

Dear conference-europe team,

On behalf of the self-organized and preparatory LOC I'm very honored to 
submit the proposal for holding the FOSS4G Europe 2024 conference in the 
beautiful city of Tartu, Estonia. The conference would be organized in 
cooperation with the University of Tartu Department of Geography, and 
would take place between 1. July-7. July 2024 following the rather 
"standard" FOSS4G conference schedule: 2 days of workshops, followed by 
3 days of main conference, and finishing off with 2 days for code 
sprint. "What about the social events?" I can hear you ask. Yes, these 
are also planned. Ice breaker on Wednesday evening. The main party on 
Thursday evening (and I have to confess at least I am very excited about 
the location for the main party) in Lodjakoda - a recently rebuilt river 
barge building hall just next to the river Emajõgi about 10 minutes walk 
upstream from the city center.

Tartu is one of the 2024 European Culture Capitals so we expect a lot to 
be happening in and around the town leading up, during, and after the 
conference. I would be our pleasure to share this with you.

The estimated ticket prices would be 150/200 EUR (early bird/regular) 
for the main conference. As this is a regional FOSS4G conference then we 
are looking for ways to make the event more accessible to university 
students by offering them reduced ticket prices for 50/75 (early 
bird/regular respectively). Workshops would run their own ticketing at 
25/50 (early bird/regular respectively) per piece.

The whole proposal in a more detailed form is attached to this e-mail 
(FOSS4GE_2024_Tartu_Proposal.pdf) as well as the accompanying budget 
plan (FOSS4GE_2024_Budget_Breakdown_plan.pdf). The budget plan assesses 
three scenarios based on expected number of participants: 200, 300, and 
400 - with 300 being the most realistic.

Should you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.


All the best,

Tõnis Kärdi
