[OSGeo-Conf] question period for FOSS4G 2015 RFP - this week

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi Sanghee,
Thanks for your proposal that is exciting to read!

Questions:

- Can you provide a little more information about the location, especially how well it can be reached from abroad? 
A first check for flights from Amsterdam showed many results with 30+ hours of traveling and 2 or more stops. What is that like from the US, Australia, India and other countries in Asia? And what is the impact of hosting the conference on a remote(!?) island instead of e.g. in Seoul? (By the way, I love the island idea :-) )

- You indicate that there are no Visa problems on Jeju Islands. Am I correct to assume that transit through mainland Korea and/or other neighboring countries gives no problems either?

- Are there LOC members living on Jeju islands?

- Have you hosted one of the local chapters conferences on Jeju in the past? What other locations in Korea did you host the conference in the past?

Thanks again, cheers,
Jeroen
