Hi,<br>
<br>
the german-speaking OSGeo local chapter D-A-CH announced that it<br>
plans to bid for hosting the FOSS4G 2016. Anyway, after years of<br>
running the annual FOSSGIS conference (about 400 delegates/year), we<br>
are unhappy with our software solution assisting our orga-team. Right<br>
now we are using a combination of pentabarf [1] (for managing paper<br>
ssubmission, review and planing of the program) and CiviCRM [2] on<br>
Drupal (for registration, billing and payment). This does not fit our<br>
needs and produces too much additional work to be done to fullfill<br>
our requirements. We found out that the german linux day, Linuxtag<br>
[3], is facing the similar problems. Our recent plans are, to enhance<br>
Frab [4] to fit our needs during the next years. May be it is also<br>
interesting for organising FOSS4G conferences and anybody wants to<br>
participate. Any commends welcome.<br>
<br>
Best regards - and thank you all for the great elapsed conference in<br>
Nottingham<br>

Have your local chapter considered the Public Knowledge Project [5]<br>
Open Conference Systems software (OCS)? [6]<br>
<br>
There is an OSGeo wiki page that proposes OCS be used for the<br>
annual FOSS4G conferences [7] and it was used for FOSS4G2008. [8][9]<br>
There is an (now outdated) OCS instance hosted by OSGeo. [10]<br>
