<div class="moz-cite-prefix">FWIW, having clear guidance on the
FOSS4G branding is also very welcome by us FOSS4G-Europe
organizers. We will certainly want to follow such a document
meticulously - because of efficiancy on all sides and, generally,
for coherence with other FOSS4Gs.<br>

I said that I would offer to serve on the conference committee
once the 2013 wrap up was completed and we are nearly there!

<div>I don't think it would be appropriate for me to do the
merging of the 2013 Reflections into the "official" cookbook as
I am too close to the 2013 event but I am happy to offer support
if wanted</div>

<div>IMHO (and I know some may disagree strongly) we need
coordination of the regional and local events program with the
annual event and management of the FOSS4G brand. If this is the
route that the conference committee chooses I am up for helping
out.<br>

Folks,<br>
there is work to do for the Conference Committee:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee#Current_Members">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee#Current_Members</a><br>
<br>
But I am not sure whether it has the vigor to actually get
them done. So<br>
I have a few questions aiming to take the committee's pulse
so that we<br>
can decide whether things will get done or what else we need
to do to<br>
get them Done Done.<br>
<br>
* Who is going to take the lead to merge the great input
from the FOSS4G<br>
2013 Reflections into the FOSS4G Cookbook? Or maybe they
are fine side<br>
by side?<br>
<br>
* Is the conference committee the right place to coordinate
events all<br>
around the world?<br>
<br>
This explicitly includes regional events - not only FOSS4G
global. As<br>
said before we need a place where all this comes together
for simple<br>
reasons:<br>
* avoid conflicts<br>
* get better coverage<br>
* help events spread word by adding them to global and
localized events<br>
in the OSGeo calendar<br>
* add news for CfP and similar<br>
<br>
* Take ownership of FOSS4G (this seems to be so contentious
that I am<br>
going to bring it up again and again, maybe it is time for a
blog on the<br>
topic?)<br>
<br>
The Conference Committee currently "only" seems to issue a
yearly CfL<br>
for the global FOSS4G event and manage the selection
process. If so who<br>
is going to address the above - and probably more issues as
we go? Can<br>
we move these decision processes to the Local Chapters list
- which is<br>
not even a committee?<br>
<br>
<br>
Please answer with +1 to any and each of the above if you
feel this is<br>
in your remit (and you are going to invest some time!). And
if we get<br>
less than x +1 we know there is a need for something else -
whatever<br>
that may be.<br>
<br>
This call is open for a week or so.<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>
Arnulf<br>
