Moving to PSU, waiting on text details and confirmation of additional support. I’ll nag again.


> * OSGeo LIVE list questions - mostly:
> ** 2. Is there a speaking slot available for the OSGeo-Live presentation?

I suspect we can dig one up.

> ** 3. What are your thoughts on printing DVDs/USBs of OSGeo-Live?

For who? All attendees? If the latter, I think USB sticks are a bad investment.

> * Did we resolve the Annual General Meeting scheduling?  Did the

Yes, and no. Sam is going to work on website updates.

We can put it into the vacated AGM invited talk slot, if someone wants to take it and take on the task of organizing it.

> * Are there really ~120 code sprint “yes” indications?

There are 121 people who claim to be coming to the code sprint. If we think that’s wrong, I’m open to suggestions about how to get the right number.

Honestly, I don’t care. Whoever is responsible for organizing the OSGeo booth should handle that.  I don’t think we, the LOC, need to care, either. I have enough work to do without creating it. If you’re taking on the OSGeo booth, go ahead and decide what needs to be there/what’s available to be there. We certainly have the pop-up banner locally that you can use.

Not me. Wouldn’t count on much geo, though. Not many people likely to attend two conferences in two weeks, either. That would be utterly exhausting.
