[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G Auckland 2025 Proposal

[María Arias de Reyna]

Dear Simon,

I just did a first read of your document and I want to congratulate you and
your LOC for such a beautiful proposal.

I see that you consider numbers that I feel are a bit low for attendance
(base 550, better 650, best 750). I like that you are conservative and that
the budget stays strong with a low number, but I think that we should be
prepared for the upper number to be at least 1000, considering the
historial data[1]. Is there a reason why 750 is the higher you planned?
Because even if it is very far away from me (Spain), I see it is very close
to some of the most vibrant communities out there. I know you mention you
can expand to more rooms if needed and that you can have a bigger plenary
room, I am just curious if I'm missing some reason behind the numbers.

I like the childcare services. As a suggestion: are you also considering
offering some tourist package for partners?

Sometimes the codesprint is not of interest for the majority of the
audience for several reasons (considered too technical, people are tired at
the last day and decide to just do some tourism,...). Do you have any ideas
on how to encourage participation?

Cheers!
María.
