RES: [OSGeo-Conf] 2011 Process

[Rafael Medeiros Sperb]

Folks,

Before we go ahead, I would like to know whether the ideia of having the
International FOSS4G every two years will be considered, as discussed in
Sidney? In this case, we would have international and regional meetings
alternating each other.

Warm regards,

Rafael

I totally approve this principle, It worths at least to try. This is
something I have already proposed back in 2006 during the FOSS4G in
Lausanne. this kind of geographic rotation is widely used for
conferences in several other scientific communities.
