[Conference-europe] FOSS4G Europe 2026 orga topics

[Tõnis Kärdi]

Hey, I'm happy to see there's so much such interest in the topic.

But I will have to apologize for my bad wording in the initial e-mail.

The discussion and questions to the venue-proposees is open to 
*everyone* interested, but until now the voting process (if we need to 
use it all) has been for the Conference Europe committee members [1] 
(past FOSS4GE chairs, and people with outstanding contributions to the 
event setup) only.

The ideology here can, of course be discussed, but considering the 
timeline here we have for the 2026 decision I would suggest to consider 
it maybe for next time.


All the best,
t;
