While I respect Steven's reasons for being selective about
conference committee membership, I think Maxi raises good points.<br>
<br>
One of the key responsibilities of the conference committee is
selection of foss4g conference locations, and there is a lot at
stake based upon the decision. So we do need to be careful that the
people on the committee have the experience to make a good judgement
call and we should be careful not to create a situation where the
conference committee could be "stacked" to ensure a specific region
gains advantage over another.<br>
<br>
However, we have an issue in that there is more work to be done
within the conference committee than there are volunteer hours.<br>
<br>
As such, I think that we should consider options to address some of
Maxi's suggestions. <br>
<br>
Maybe widen membership criteria to being a chair of a large regional
event, or an active committee member?<br>
Maybe allow someone to be an active participant, but reserve FOSS4G
selection voting to past FOSS4G chairs?<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>
