[OSGeo-Discuss] Local chapter event planning (Ireland)

[Seth G]

Hi all,

We are planning our first event for the Irish chapter of OSGeo - 
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland for May this year.

We hope to get around 30 attendees, and will be running some workshops 
and discussions. I have found the following links on the OSGeo wiki:

  * https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Event_Management
    <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland>
  * http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Marketing_Material_Samples
    <https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland>

A question which is not answered in the above is what other local 
chapters do with regards to financing these events. We need to book a 
hotel conference suite - do most chapter's create bank accounts? Or do 
the organisers pay costs directly?

Also what happens if there is a shortfall in funds (I'm guessing the 
event is cancelled or the organisers make up the difference), or 
alternatively a surplus?

Finally I have been trying to register to edit the wiki to create an 
initial event page at http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ - however it has been 
a couple of weeks and I have received no reply/confirmation. Is there 
anyway to see what has happened to this application?

Regards,

Seth
