Conference Europe Committee, ask questions to prolosal

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi all, 

I would like to open short queation period to the one proposal we have for the Foss4g-Europe 2018 conference. 

The period should end by end of this week, so we could move one latest next week.

Members of the conference committee (and others too), please speak up.

Jachym

Dear committee members,

There is so much life in the community beyond the OSGeo elections :-)

Back to planet earth, we need a formal approval of our proposal to
continue the FOSS4G-Europe preparation.

Best regards,

Jorge Gustavo

Hi all, during this period, we never were crowded by e-mails. And it also falls into the board and charter member elections.

Still, since there are no questions, I would like to start motion on this:

I move to approve the FOSS4G-Europe proposal as presented here and kindly ask the team to organise FOSS4G-Europe 2018 for us.

And here goes my +1

Thank you

Dear Jorge and the 2018 team,

Thanks for your great proposal.  Here are some comments:

- excellent that you also included a financial budget.  I noticed that
you have a line item for renting 12 computer workstations for workshops:
is your plan to leverage the existing workstations at the University of
Minho for all workshops?  Or, what is your plan for the 12 machines?


- I hope you can also begin to draft a logo for the event, that includes
the FOSS4G ribbon of course :) But I know you already have great
experience with that, through the SASIG event
(http://osgeopt.pt/sasig2017/images/logo.png)

Thanks for sharing your passion.  Your team and plan looks great.

-jeff

We don't know if we should provide computers from some workshops or just
the room and each one brings his own computer. Can we decide right now
that there are no computers available or it is better to have computers
for people travelling without laptops? What do you think?

We will try to use the available computer labs from the university, but
we don't know yet if they will charge us for that. There are not much
computer labs at the university any more, because students prefers to
bring their own computers. Basically we added this item for computer
rentals if we need an extra room with computers, but we hope that will
not be necessary.

You give me a very good idea (I need feedback from my co-chairs Maria
and Pedro, to see if they agree, and from Joana Simões - our marketing
chair). We can create a design logo contest to offer free entrance for
the winner. It will help to spread the word and to let someone come
without paying the fee.

I think the cost of renting machines is very high for any local
committee for any event, and these days with OSGeo-Live attendees can
come prepared to use their own laptops.  I would say that it is best to
avoid the extra costs of renting machines.  I personally think that it
is ok to assume now that no computers will be available.

I didn't mean to 'micro-manage' you here on this, I can see that you
have a great team in place.  I'm supportive of whatever decisions you make.

Great plan!  A great way to spread the word.

Hi all,

I received another 11 "+1" votes offlist, no complains, everybody is very positive. 

I would like to declare the motion "passed" and would like to ask Jorge and his team, if could organise FOSS4G-Europe conference in the year 2018 - I hope, it's not too late.

There was always possibility to ask by OSGeo for some seeding money, you might need for starter. We all also expect, that you will be calling for volunteers. You have our support and hopefully also helping hands - please do not hesitate to ask for it. This is our conference - and people usually want to help it happen.

Thank you 

Jachym

P.S. Sorry, it took so long - I hope, you can still work with it.
