[OSGeo-Conf] Vote for RfP 2025 by 28th of May

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi Jonathan,



Although I very much see where you are coming from, it is also important to consider that life does not only happen in Europe or North America. The Oceania and Asian OSGeo communities are strong and have incredible people working with and contributing to OSGeo FOSS. The goal of OSGeo is to promote its use and adoption across the globe. This brings lots of good IMHO. And yes, that also implies that OSGeo has set a goal for itself to have a global conference move across continents in a way that does justice to both the people and the OSGeo mission. 



It will be up to the participants individual considerations if that implies visiting a Global OSGeo conference in Brasil, in Japan or in New Zealand. Or not to and wait for a global conference that is closer to home. With due respect for individual perspectives and considerations.



The Conference Committee and the submitters of the current proposals are, form my perspective, extremely capable of taking all aspects of hosting a global conference into consideration, including environmental impact. And related to this we also see stronger and stronger regional conferences being setup that reduce travel for many and increase the outreach.



Cheers,

Jeroen

As a counterpoint, I'd like to suggest that it's environmentally
      irresponsible to even consider hosting international conferences
      in locations as remote as New Zealand, Hawaii, or Australia.

I just want to say to both teams behind the
        proposals: whoever doesn't win, please, try again. This is not
        an easy decision because both proposals are very good. I wish we
        could have both.

Dear Conference Committee voting
          members,
 
 The deadline for voting for FOSS4G2025 venue was extended! The
          new deadline is *May 31 12h CET*. This is due to the fact that
          some of you (especially Gmail accounts) did not receive the
          Auckland financial proposal that was privately send by me, due
          to a DKIM misconfiguration problem. I'm very sorry for the
          situation and I kindly ask you to accept my apologies. Please
          take in consideration the information submitted to you this
          morning when casting your vote. Please do vote ASAP!
 
 Warm regards,
 Vasile
