[OSGeo-Conf] 2013 Letter of Intent Results

[Peter Batty]

I am inclined to agree with Dave, I hate to see us losing lots of people.
It's unfortunate we didn't have more votes, but also I think we didn't have
a reminder to get votes in which I have seen in the past.

We're in an unfortunate spot here where all paths forward have some
drawbacks. But I wonder if we should be open to extending (reopening) the
voting deadline since clearly some people weren't aware of it. If we had
more people voting then Prague may have got the second one they would need
to be considered further ... or to put it another way, the threshold of two
votes to continue was set, I would assume, based on the premise that most
of the committee voted.
