[Foss4g2013] [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2013 Call for Presentations and Workshops now open.

[Cameron Shorter]

Barry,
Congratulations on your putting out your call for presentations and 
workshops.

I'd like to suggest a few things for your questionnaire, which we had 
done when running foss4g 2009.

After foss4g 2009, we retrospectively tried to chase all presenters to 
see if they would give permission to publish their presentations on the 
website. It was hard word.
I wish we had a question during the call for presenters along the lines of:

1. May we publish your slides and any related material on our foss4g 
website after the event?
2. Would you like to attribute to a CC licence? Which one: CC-By, 
CC-By-SA, ... other: __

Another suggestion which might clash with prior discussions about blind 
voting. One thing which we have been developing to encourage conferences 
to find local OSGeo speakers is the "OSGeo Advocate" page.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate

One way to help keep this Advocate page updated is to request speaker 
profiles using the same format as the Advocate page, offering that 
speakers either reference the Advocate page, or update the Advocate page 
at the same time as they submit presentations.
