[OSGeo-Conf] Conference for Central and Eastern Europe

[Cameron Shorter]

I think this is a great idea, with the following suggestions:

* Set up a convention where the local event is at a different time of 
the year to the annual foss4g, (ideally 4 to 6 months apart)

* Try to pick a date which doesn't class with local events in other 
parts of the world, so both events can both draw upon the same 
international speakers.

* Don't hold a local conference in a year when the annual foss4g 
conference is in your region.

* Consider aligning with other geospatial conferences in your region. 
Maybe taking a couple of days before an event, or taking responsibility 
for a theme within another GIS conference. Again, this makes it easier 
to attract both speakers and delegates. I was very impressed with 
Denver's event, which backed onto both the SoTM and OGC events. I'd be 
very interested to hear from event organisors how much cross over there 
was between events.
