[OSGeo-Conf] Call for Vote: 2011 document ready for release

[Cameron Shorter]

A belated +1 from me. Sorry, I sometimes don't get to foss4g emails till 
the weekend. Some comments targeted for future releases, which need not 
go into the current RFQ:

* One of the issues we ran into with our 2009 PCO was their 
unwillingness to share documents under an Open Licence.
I think it is important to state our preference for tenderers who will 
use Open Sharing of all conference material generated, otherwise PCOs 
will not adhere to this criteria after they have secured the conference. 
(They have a lot of IP tied up in budgets and specific documents which 
they don't like sharing with competition)

* At FOSS4G 2011, I suggest that we invite potential bidders 2013 and 
maybe 2014 bidders to announce their interest to host a conference.
