Okay Paul, I'll bite - but I'll still leave room for others to raise
their hands. :)

I agree with the idea of having the Journal as a venue for publishing
the proceedings. We can put select papers through the peer review
process. We can consider how to also handle all the others that
might be ready to publish. I look at this as a very convenient way
to suddenly have lots of Journal content for our 3rd issue and also
help the conference.
I assume we'd only need to take some of the presentations whose
authors put together a more formal paper - not just reprint
presentation files. Will that meet the needs? How much information
do people need ahead of time?
Yes, OSGeo Journal has an official ISSN (it's like the ISBN but is
for periodicals/serials, not books).
