[foss4g2014] Program Review Complete

[Darrell Fuhriman]

A group of us got together today and hammered out the list of accepted/rejected proposals. I’ll be sending out an e-mail letting people know tomorrow. 

We had 287 proposals, of which we accepted 176 – just over 60%.

A huge thanks to Amy, Daniel, Jacob, Mele, and Volker for taking a huge chunk of time over the past week, including the holiday weekend, to work on it. This is a, as Joe Biden would say, a bug fucking deal.

Next step is to convert this into an actual schedule, but we can work on that over the coming days. The most important thing is that we let people know their status so they can start planning.

If you’re interested, here’s the break down by country (and US State):
