We request a two-week extension of the Letter of Intent submission period. My team would like the time to help find and support another team in our region. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Message-ID: Dear Dennis, Thanks for you and your team to offer hosting of the global FOSS4G! To provide a little context with what Luca wrote: we would very much like the global FOSS4G to target the August-October timeframe, while regional conferences target an opposite period (~March-May). In this way we can avoid direct competition between the two important type of regional/global events. With the current lack of such a direction, we've seen regional and global conferences really bite each other because they were only weeks apart.

Message-ID: Hello Luca; Hello Jeroen; Thank you for your email and feedback in regards to our letter of intent and especially in regards to the proposed date. The [University of Bristol] venue booking system is the reason for the chosen date. The academic year and associated bookings begin in August which only allows for booking after the previous Easter holidays. This means that we would be able to securely book the venue for July 2027 in April 2026. Hosting in August/September is not impossible but we would only be able to secure the booking in April 2027 for August 2027. Our main concern is that we cannot get event insurance without a secure booking and won't be able to sell tickets prior to this. Are there any particular regional events or other dates to look out for in 2027? I believe it was suggested that the European FOSS4G is not held in years when the global FOSS4G is hosted in Europe. FOSS4G:NA was hosted in November this year, just two weeks after FOSS4G Auckland, which is not ideal. FOSS4G:Asia will be hosted in January 2026. The only other large regional event that I am aware of is FOSSGIS [Germany, Austria, Switzerland] which is usually organised in March.

<4627BFA1-0207-4DDF-8B00-16D6ECC81A73@geocat.net> Message-ID: It seems reasonable to first get regional conferences in March-May. It really seems FOSS4G:NA in November was bad form and the real issue here. I vaguely recall some email traffic on that. With regional conferences in March-May and FOSS4G in August, there is still ~3 months separation and presumably FOSS4G will be the first scheduled giving regionals the opportunity to push more towards March.
