[Martin Tomko]

Hm, does that mean two half-day workshops? Did we provide for this?

In regards to AWS workshops, the second person did address this, they mentioned speaking to the other presenter and they have attempted to ensure their workshop will complement the first. see below
sorry, should have include their comments in the spreadsheet.

Note to Organisers: We are aware of another workshop presentation submitted
by xxxx of AWS on PostGIS and Geoserver on AWS. We've actually
been in contact with xxxx  and discussed the content of both of our workshops
so that we can try to design them to be complementary. As such, the focus of
our workshop will be less on the core deployment of Geoserver/PostGIS on AWS
aspects and if both workshops are selected we'll hopefully be able to note
that xxx's workshop may be useful to attend as a precursor to ours (although
not a pre-requisite) and hopefully they could be scheduled so they are not
clashing. Hope that makes sense!

+1 on John, +one comment: some of the proposals have strong overlaps. Meaning, the community is interested, but we should not have two of the same angle ( there are 2 on geoserver and AWS). Should we – before putting them out for vote – approach the proposers whether the ywould be willing to combine? ( if not, they will all go to vote). But it may be a good way to help with connections, and guarantee some critical mass. Alternatively, they could angle it to different levels ( beginner vs pro).

Thanks Trisha! That's exciting :)

I've been doing a bit of a countdown on Twitter... see https://twitter.com/FOSS4G_Oceania/status/1022378675545595904<https://twitter.com/FOSS4G_Oceania/status/1022378675545595904>

Will definitely hit it hard this weekend :)

Based on what people have been telling me, I suspect there will be some submissions up to the last minute, feels likely we'll have >10 by the deadline. If so, will need to:

  *   have Alex's Google Form up & running for Wednesday morning for the community vote (1-8 Aug)
  *   be ready to communicate how it works to the community
  *   be ready to make selections quickly thereafter, by 10 Aug
  *   confirm with presenters, finalise the program, and open workshop registrations by 17 Aug
