+1 to putting 40 pages of past reports online and not including in RFPs.

  I think we should consider going further and respecting the time of 
people responding to RFPs. What is worth reading in 10 years worth of 
event reports?

Ideally, we as past chairs should be refining what we have learned, and 
presenting a more concise set of guidelines. (Dare I mention the FOSS4G 
Handbook.) This handbook can reference back to source material such as 
Lessons Learned and foss4g reports.
