[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2017 - Questions for LoI cities

[Steven Feldman]

A question for all 3 cities:

I am worried about the cost for a delegate to attend including hotels, food, workshops and conference fee. We know from past experiences that this can be an issue for people who are not sponsored by large organisations. We want to make FOSS4G accessible to as many people as possible and a few bursaries aren’t sufficient. 

Can you provide some estimates of all in cost for a delegate on a budget. 

OSGeo Board needs to give a clear steer on ‘surplus objectives’ to the bidding teams before they finalise their budgets in the next round

To Ottawa:

I agree with Jeff re co-chairs, for 2013 we had a single chair and 2 very strong vice-chairs who took on large portfolios of responsibility.
