[OSGeo-Conf] Local and regional conference planning

[Cameron Shorter]

Karel,
The easiest part of organising a conference will be getting approval and 
endorsement from OSGeo.
I'm reasonably confident that if you put forward a reasonable proposal, 
which has engagement from local communities and which considers impacts 
on other events in your region, that you will get support from the 
greater OSGeo community. (The community will likely have many 
suggestions on how to tweak your conference, which will generally be 
positive).

So my suggestion is:
1. Flesh out your idea.
2. Engage key stakeholders
3. Put a proposal forward with key ideas
4. Work with community to refine initial proposal
