[OSGeo-Conf] Some Question regarding prepalation FOSS4G 2026

[Nobusuke Iwasaki (岩崎亘典)]

Dear Conference Committee Members and Board Members,

We have a few questions regarding the preparation for FOSS4G 2026.

1. E-mail addresses
When checking the FOSS4G 2025 website, we noticed that most contact
emails use the foss4g.org domain (chair, registration, TGP,
sponsorship), while the program contact uses the foss4g-oceania.org
domain.
For contact e-mail addresses such as those for the Call for Papers or
general inquiries, is there any specific rule or recommendation on
which type of address we should use?

2. Payment and registration systems
We are planning to use Pretalx for the Call for Papers. After that, we
will need to prepare the registration and payment systems.
Does the OSGeo Foundation provide any official system for handling
payments, or should the Local Organizing Committee select and manage
these systems independently?

3. Promotion opportunities at FOSS4G 2025
At the FOSS4G 2025 venue, will there be any space available -such as
at the OSGeo Foundation booth- where we could distribute materials
about FOSS4G 2026?
Also, will there be an opportunity to briefly introduce FOSS4G 2026
during the AGM or the Closing Session?

Best regards,
Nobusuke
