[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G-NA

[David William Bitner]

Hey Paul,

Yes, you heard correctly that LocationTech/Eclipse have stepped back from
acting as the professional conference organizer for the next FOSS4GNA in
2019.

The FOSS4GNA Core Committee which has been responsible for choosing the
conference organizer for all events after 2013 is currently figuring out a
plan for 2019. Our intent is to be as public as possible, but we are
getting ourselves reorganized right now with this major change.

The makeup of the committee is the three most recent FOSS4G NA Chairs who
are willing to serve (currently myself, Rob Emanuele, and Marc Vloemans), a
representative from LocationTech (Jim Hughes), a representative of OSGeo
(Jody Garnett), and a representative from OSGeo US (this is a rep we have
just added - Guido Stein).
