In particular I think it would be very helpful to talk through some of the long standing topics around FOSS4G events before we get into the CfP for 2018, there are some topics where we need guidance from the board (e.g financial expectations, relationships with 3rd parties, guarantees). The meeting is open to anyone who is active on the Conference list, board members and anyone else with an interest in the plans for FOSS4G 2018 (i.e. it’s an open meeting)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have drafted a provisional agenda at <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_F2F_2016" class="">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Conference_Committee_F2F_2016</a> add to it, edit it or comment on sections (particularly if you won’t be able to make it to Bonn) - please attribute your comments so that it is easy to see who said what.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have set up a doodle poll to try and find a time that works for the most people <a href="http://doodle.com/poll/es6s24345uddy2e6" class="">http://doodle.com/poll/es6s24345uddy2e6</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Once we have a time slot I will ask Till if he can provide us with a room to meet</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Looking forward to seeing you in Bonn</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">May the FOSS be with you :)<br class=""><div class="">
