[OSGeo-Conf] [Board] Some Question regarding prepalation FOSS4G 2026

[Alex Leith]

Hi Nobusuke

The LOC for 2025 uses Tito for ticketing, and find it super comprehensive
and easy to use https://ti.to/home

We used Pretalx too, which is highly recommended.

And we have an open source website, which could be adapted by someone on
your team: https://github.com/osgeo-oceania/foss4g-2025/

Happy to do a handover of the tools, systems and processes that we used
this year. Our LOC has been doing regional events for a few years, and have
a lot of lessons learnt.

Cheers,
