Hi Frank,
thank you for the submission. Until we have no event owner the category would usually first be [[Category:Proposed Events]] and be changed into [[Category:Events]] when we have nailed down an event owner. 

Jeff, 
could you please read the Wiki page describing what the event owner's job is and tell this list whether it is any good? (I don't give a link on purpose, the first hurdle is to find that page...) If that page is daunting and makes people shy away we should edit it to look more friendly. 

If you are happy with it, could you consider becoming the event owner for GeoTec 2008? Its not a big job really, regardless of what that page says. The main point is that we would like to have one central point of contact. 

All,
I like readable links like "FOSSGIS 2008" better than "FOSSGIS2008". What do you think?

Best regards,
