[Aust-NZ] FOSS4G-SOTM-Oceania: conference length and dates

[Philip Mallis]

Hi everyone,

I agree that one day is difficult to justify for travel, especially for academics/PhD students who only get limited numbers of conferences funded. If we want to attract a wide range of participants (which I think is ideal), two days would be a good length to kick off the first conference. If necessary, we can expand to three in the future if necessary.

Hi all,

My 2c - a one-day conference is a struggle to justify travel-wise, particularly from NZ <-> AU (maybe also from outside Victoria?).

I doubt there's any shortage of presenters and quality content to fill 2 (or even 3) days of talks, plus a day of workshops.

Rob :)
