[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G Europe 2026 orga topics

[Tõnis Kärdi]

Hey all,

with FOSS4G Europe 2025 slowly winding to an end in Mostar it is the 
perfectest time to start planning for our next European regional gathering.

The audience here is the Conference Europe Committee [1], but I'm cc-ing 
also the global conference-dev so we are on the same page and function 
in an open and transparent manner.

The first topic is: looking back at the BoF session there were quite 
many interested parties which means we (might) have to do a vote amongst 
the Conference Europe Committee members to establish the preferences. 
Since we don't have a fixed voting procedure I would like to suggest the 
following:

- if you are a Conference Europe committee member and would like to 
participate in the vote (end of September), let me know
- let's discuss the voting procedure itself later on if it becomes 
apparent that we really need it

If you feel this is not ok, please raise your concerns here.

The second topic: I've prepared the call for venue wiki page [2] and 
would appreciate feedback on it. As discussed during the BoF in Mostar 
last Wednesday, we would like to have the announcement out on August 1

All the best (still) from Mostar,
t;
