[OSGeo-Conf] Questions regarding preparations for FOSS4G 2026

[Nobusuke Iwasaki (岩崎亘典)]

Dear Alex, Luca,

Thank you very much for your kind response.

Of course, we do not plan to actively promote the event until FOSS4G
2025 in November. We just hope to release an outline of the timeline
for FOSS4G 2026.

Also, thank you for sharing the contact lists and knowledge. We truly
appreciate your advice and support.

We will open the e-ticket once we have prepared the server.

Best ,
Nobusuke

>> 1. Website setup
>> We are planning to hold a domestic FOSS4G conference on October 11-12

>> and then, once ready, request OSGeo to configure the DNS record for
>> 2026.foss4g.org accordingly. At this stage, we would like to confirm
>> the process in advance. Could you please advise us on:
>>  ･ Whether launching the website in October would be suitable timing
>>  ･ The specific steps we should follow when requesting the domain setup

> I don't see any problems to launch the website in October, as Alex already said please keep low promotion before foss4g 2025
> For the DNS please open e ticket on sac for example
