[OSGeo-Conf] MOTION: let South-Korea advance to the second stage for FOSS4G 2015

[Cameron Shorter]

+1
I'd like to present a counter point to people who have raised concerns.

I acknowledge that an Asian conference will likely attract less 
attendees, especially  from US/Europe.
However, I don't see that as a bad thing. US and Europe each have 
successful FOSS4G regional events every year. People from those 
countries won't miss out.

An Asian international FOSS4G event will provide the opportunity to 
consolidate regional Asian FOSS4G events.
I also am reassured to see that South Korea has already held a local 
FOSS4G event, and as such has proven passion and experience in holding a 
FOSS4G event. And I see there being great value to be gained through 
other areas within Asia collaborating.
