[OSGeo-Conf] Should we write a FOSS4G Cookbook?

[Karel Charvat]

I think, that from our Czech team we are interested to cooperate and
contribute to such work.

Subject: [OSGeo-Conf] Should we write a FOSS4G Cookbook?

In analysing the downfall of FOSS4G 2012 [1] one of the key lessons that
became apparent to me is that we are not very efficient at passing on
Lessons Learned from one conference to the next.

Could we do a better job of knowledge transfer by building an OSGeo
Conference Body of Knowledge? Something like a FOSS4G Cookbook [2]?

If so, what should be the scope of the cookbook? Should it only be for the
international FOSS4G event? Should it cover regional conferences too? Should
it also cover FOSS4G steams in other conferences?

Who thinks this idea is important enough that you would like to help write
sections of the Cookbook, or help with editing?

What format should we use to write the Cookbook? Maybe a wiki?

I'm interested to help push this idea forward if we as a community think
that there will be value in such a collaboratively edited document.

If you have an interest, please respond on the OSGeo conference_dev email
list (rather than OSGeo Discuss)
