[OpenGeoscience] EGU 2017: Townhall + Reception

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Hi Peter,
what is the price of the "refreshment"? If it fits in our budget, I support
going for it....

In meantime I have submitted for EGU a workshop (apparently accepted) on
istSOS, another occasion to promote OSGeo and their projects...

Best,
Maxi

> A "reception" could be arranged right before the Townhall event. Until

> allow the make OSGeo specific updates & announcements, talk about the
> option to have a "OSGeo-price for scientific software in EGU", etc. before
> we have the "open for all" Townhall itself.
>
> - Pro: this would allow double the overall timeslot "to talk/preach OSGeo"
> in one location.
> - Pro: People interested in OSGeo, but having a time collission due to
> obligations in other Townhalls, can attend (just) for the reception
> - Con: this will require additional funding for refreshments.
>
> The deadline for Townhalls is January 20th. There is no hard deadline for
> receptions, but the organizers need our feedback by end of January for the
> room allocation planning.
>
> What do you folks think ?
