Conference Committee,<br class="">
I'd like to propose that we invite Andrea Ross to join the OSGeo
Conference Committee.<br class="">
+1 from me, Cameron Shorter.<br class="">
<br class="">
My reasoning is that Andrea has a lot of experience running
conferences, especially through his involvement with LocationTech,
and there are synergies that could be gained by aligning OSGeo and
LocationTech effectively.<br class="">
<br class="">
I note that there have been concerns aired previously about
LocationTech competing to take over OSGeo's flagship FOSS4G event.
I'm of the opinion that we should be mindful of this, but we should
discuss the options openly and I believe we can find a solution
favourable for all. An effective way to support this conversation is
to invite Andrea to be one vote among our conference committee.<br class="">
<br class="">
Warm regards, Cameron<br class="">

<pre class="k9mail">Who is going to be in Bonn for FOSS4G?
It's an opportunity for the Conference Committee and interested people to meet face to face, we could discuss some of the topics on the 'outstanding list' <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_2016_Priorities" class="">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_2016_Priorities</a> and we could start preparing the call for 2018
Anyone interested?
