Dear all,
I would like thanks on the behalf of our team to all members of commission
for selection of Praha for second round. I would like also thanks for the
time given for full proposal.

Subject: [OSGeo-Conf] 2012 Next Step: Full Proposal and Budget

Background
----------

Thank you to all of the 4 teams for submitting excellent letters of 
intent to host FOSS4G.  I can tell through private discussions that each 
OSGeo Conference Committee member took this decision very seriously.

Stage 1 Results
---------------

The teams/letters who received 2 or more votes from committee members 
are: Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague.  Unfortunately the team from Rome will 
not move onto the next stage.  I do hope that the Rome local committee 
does come back in a future bid, as there is clearly an extremely active 
local community there in Italy (I attended the WebMGS event in Como last 
August, so I know first-hand).

Stage 2
-------

Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague local committees must now begin work on their 
full proposals and proposed budget.  The due dates listed in the RFP are 
for 2011-08-01, but that obviously is too soon for a full proposal.  So 
we will change that to one month from today, 2011-08-21.  (the idea is 
to make sure there is enough time to produce a full proposal and budget, 
yet at the same time give enough time for the winning team to plan to 
send someone to Denver, or at least produce an invitation video: a short 
10 minute slot is scheduled in the Denver closing plenary for the 
winning team to present its invitation 
http://2011.foss4g.org/program/session-schedule)

I have updated the RFP with these new dates 
(http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-fo
r-proposal.pdf):

Proposals & Budget (Stage 2) due:	2011-08-21 (23:00 UTC)
Stage 2 question period:		2011-08-21 to 2011-08-26
Final decision:				2011-08-26


Thank you everyone.
