[OSGeo-Conf] [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2027: request for proposals open

[Steven Feldman]

The request was for a 2 week extension to 20/12/25, that is long passed now. North America could have put together an LoI and submitted late but still been considered, have they done that?

I recognise that at the moment there is only one LoI (unless another has been submitted but not published) and that a choice would be preferable but the timetable is important if bidders are going to retain confidence in the process.

Disclosure - I am a member of the UK organising committee

Cheers

But because we already have another proposal submitted in due time I would like to hear more opinions from our colleagues. Apologies again for the mess in my inbox.
