>> 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?
>
>
> There are no specific rule or recommendation, usually @foss4g it is just a redirect to another email addresses

>>
>> 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?
>
>
> LOC has to choose their system. Some loc used pretix (self installed or as service), for 2022 we used the PCO system
>>
>>
>> 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?
>
>
> Yes of course you can use osgeo booth, during closing session you will have dedicated time to introduce 2026 edition (usually with a video, but you can have a presentation, as you prefer)
