[OSGeo-Conf] LoI's on RfP 2020 - Question period until 12th of October

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear Prospective FOSS4G Chairs,

Firstly, congratulations on starting your journey to host the global FOSS4G, you and your prospective LOCs should be very proud!

After reviewing the LoIs, two questions spring out to me: 1. What is the mission of your respective FOSS4G?; 2. What is your commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and ensuring that FOSS4G 2020 is as inclusive and as diverse as possible?

Thank you,

Mark

> Niagara - you say "The Niagara Falls LOC has budgeted a similar registration fee schedule as Boston 2017 and estimates a modest profit” there has been a lot of discussion about making FOSS4G more affordable, do you have any thoughts on this?
