[OSGeo-Discuss] Conference resources working group

[Luca Delucchi]

Dear Conference committee, OSGeo friends;

working on the FOSS4G and SotM 2022 organization I was able to see two
different types of organization for the two conferences. I really like
the idea of having a working group helping the LOC team that OSM
foundation has, this helps a lot to simplify the work of LOC.
So in these days I spoke with some people about my idea to create a
working group in helping the different LOCs to have a successful
FOSS4G (mainly the international one but it could also be done with
regional if needed, for example setting up or helping with pretalx).
Most of the people I spoke with really liked the idea so I added it to
the board meeting and all the members supported the idea. I already
found some people interested in being part of this working group.

This new group is not a replacement of the Conference Committee
because they have two different purposes:
- the Conference Committee has to put out the bid and choose the best candidate
- the Conference resources (final name has to be decided but this is a
good proposal of Michael) has to help the chosen candidate to set up a
good FOSS4G and simplify the work and it is a operative entity

I started a wiki page [0] and I'll be working on that in the next
weeks, if you are interested to be part of and support this working
group please add your name.

I would like to have the first meeting by the end of September, after
having a call with FOSS4G 2023 team.
