Hi Jo, I've always been a bit skeptical about the value of conference themes in general, and I don't really think FOSS4G needs one. But that's just my personal view, if you want to go for one then do it :).<div>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
A question really to previous FOSS4G organisers- did you think about having<br>
a theme for the event, or did you just stick with the "Free and Open Source<br>
Software for Geospatial" tag-line and leave it at that? Do people think that<br>
conference themes are useful/beneficial? Do they help with coming up with<br>
clearly defined tracks for papers?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Jo<br>
