Good feedback, thank you.
Posted survey here:
http://community.osgeo.net/survey/osgeo_events
I've tried to just list the past events that resulted in the current
FOSS4G - I'm sure I missed some but think it's good enough for now.
I generalised the Future Events to cover FOSS4G specifically, plus
left room to comment on more local/regional events. I removed more
regional future events since there are way more out there than I know
about and we could handle it under another survey in the future too.
Before rolling this out to the masses - have a peek and give me any
last feedback :)
