[OSGeo-Conf] Application of FOSs4G Bucharest for TGP

[Cameron Shorter]

Jonathan, I think that a goal of reducing CO2 from travel is admirable, 
and something that we should consider incorporating into our FOSS4G 
Cookbook. It conveniently aligns with promoting regional events and 
reducing travel costs for people by promoting regional events. It also 
aligns with Vasile's focus on promoting local attendance.

I'd be wary of retrospectively imposing extra rules on FOSS4G 2019, and 
should not delay making a +1, -1 decision on this vote, but could be 
provided as a suggestion which might or might not be adopted.

If we feel strongly about encouraging this topic, we should do the 
research in advance.

* What are the travel implications (such as time taken and cost) for 
different travel options from different catchment areas for the conference?

* Can people purchase CO2 offset for travel tickets? How much would that 
add?

Johathan, would you be interested in providing such research? (It would 
make your suggestion easier to be considered effectively, as FOSS4G 
organising committee are likely too overworked to take on extra tasks.)
