[FOSS4G-Oceania] The Panel Session - It's Time...

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm finding it hard to form my opinion about a moderator until we are 
clear on the topic, and then the panelists to invite.

For a topic, I like this that Adam mentioned before:
6. ’human evolution, ethics and open source mapping’

I think it is punchier than my suggestion of:
7. "What future would we like to see for OSGeo within Oceania within the 
years to decade?"

Within both topics we can address "diversity", but they are more 
holistic than and therefore should be easier for people to feel engaged 
with.

For panelists, I'd suggest we try to create a balance of:
* People with influence.
* People with differing opinions and backgrounds.
* Diversity to at least represent the diversity of our audience, ideally 
be a bit more diverse.
* Our organising committee is stacked with many opinionated, older, 
influential white men. We should have one on the panel.
* Our keynotes include influential women. We should have one on the panel.
