2015-10-09
- Locality: terrestris office Bonn
- 12.30 - 17.00
Participating: Marc, Gert-Jan, Konrad Seyfert, Till Meeting with PR & Marketing team
Minutes
- PR & Marketing must start now
- PR & M-Team must work together with other teams, such as sponsoring, program comittee, financial or webpage-team and also PCO (WCCB)
- there are some time critical interactions between PR & M and other teams, so time planning is important!
- targets:
- OSGeo target: "promote our software"
- LOC targets:
- cover costs (650 vattendees as break even)
- lower atttendance fees
- get the 1000
- good quality on all levels
- BBQ (socializing)
- products
- conference program, venue, social events, town of Bonn
- meet people
- interchange knowledge
- sponsor packages for individuals such as NGO's, communities, companies, gov's, academia etc.
- bring your own-contribution
- we expect 75% of "FOSS4G affin" attendees, but want at least 25% non-FOSS4G affin attendees
- people from organisations, companies etc. that are not geo/gis-centric, UN, traffic, defense, insurances, etc.pp.
- also people from neighbouring disciplines, such as CMS e.g. etc.
- between these two groups, there is a number of GIS-affin people, that are not aware of FOSS4G, we want to attract them as well
- these come from proprietary GIs companies
- Remote Sensing people
- ...
- for this, contents must be defined -> program team
- slogan is needed. "FOSS4G 2016 - build bridges in Bonn" is a suitable sub-title for the conference
- bridges between communities, countries, people...
- Also the wording "Join us for ..." is a suitable word and stresses the Rhenish mentality
- exhibition must fit into WCCB
- idea to make kind of oriental marketplace ("Kasba") with booth, coffee stations, tables etc. - this will open an often boring exhibition place and also fit into WCCB
- Conrad Seyfert asks with WCCB, if use of tunnel as presenting room is possible (fits better into concept)
- CF clears also, which booth are possible at what costs
- Pr & M needs budget, TA suggested 5k for now, team agreed
- role of Textkoch was discussed
- TA talks to Textkoch for an hour-based support for marketing especially in the D-A-CH room (german language)

- 19.30 - 22.00
Participating: Anja, Oliver, Till, Martin, Danilo, Astrid, Torsten
Agenda
- BoF with LOC Team 2015
- Till and Volker met the Korean LOc in Seoul. Some of the discussed issues will be discussed later.
- For coupled scial event with conference Sanghee calculated with 20% not to come to social event. For us this means to offer the possibility to check "I attend to social event" when registering, although social event is included anyhow
- Seoul Team had some travel grants and reduces prices for some students (-35%), paid from a budget where attendees were able to pay more (donation)
- Decision who became a travel grant was made based in world bank list of countries
- Deliver space for poster&map sessions, no pre-oganisation took place on that
- registration in Seoul: 45% Early Bird, 20% in last three days before online reg. closed (!!), 5% on site, total 562 attendees
- Seoul offered just to make workshops without joining the conference - TBD!
- Early Bird - How do we get people to register early
- In general (also others from OSGeo requested): Ensure time overlap of Early Bird and publishing of the programme
- Seyfert says "it must hurt2 - so think about higher price range between Early Bird and normal (now: ~570 <-> ~650)
- Open Workshop Reg. with Early Bird and tell the people that Workshop places are rare (they are!!)
- BaseCamp is an issue, because only Early Birders will get place here (only ~80 places)
- Offer special T-Shirt for Early Birders with logos of the past F4G conferences on the ack and the possibility to "x" the ones, the attendee has been
- Free tickets
- In the calculation 10% of non-payers are calculated, Till wants to lower that (which will lower general price)
- Seoul had the rule, that no one got a free ticket (including Sanghee)
- we want free tickets for the LOC, but who is in really in the LOC? Need more discussions on that
- 30-35 free tickets for student-helper-program
- invited speakers should get a free ticket as well
- Code Sprint / BaseCamp
- Need to contact Bonn tourismus because of nearby apartment hotel (->Till)
- Code Sprint scheduled Sunday noon to Tuesday (23.8.2016) evening and Saturday-Sunday (27./28.) because before BaseCamp is already booked by FROSCON
- BaseCamp completely booked for week from 21.8. - 28.8.
- Twitter Account
- Till got credentials from the Seoul team
- need one/two persons who regularly twitter news
- issue for meeting with PR&Marketing guys on friday (09.10.2015)
- What about Facebook, others ? (-> PR & M-Team to decide)
- Postcards
- need new ones
- layout should be changed slightly, Martin contacts Anton for that
- Till will order another 2000 (?)
- Videoteam
- ask at WCCB for costs (Seyfert, MediaCompany) and outfit for video team
- perhaps offer money to CCC-team, that makes the video stuff at FOSSGIS instead of paying WCCB?
- Homepage
- need general information section, need later, but can collect ideas now in WIKI (where get prepaid sim-card, where souvenirs, ...?)
- Till asks Camren to contact Anja so they can make a plan which sites are needed
- Till lists issues needed for registration, need to decide how registration works ("buy" Küstenschmiede for a consulting day?)
- Sponsoring
- high pressure on finishing the sponsorship packages
- uncouple sponsorship and exhibition, sponsors can buy extra exhibition space
- Misc
- bank account is ready, Fred will transfer OSGeo money (minus pre-paid consulting of MediaCompany for Proposal) to that account
- need to know, how mails to <name>@foss4g2016.org can be forwarded (Till requested that already from his administer, publish over list)
- Till contracted PCO via "Support", so for this year they just plot the hours and bill them, new agreement needed begin of 2016
- 09.10.2015 (terrestris office): Meeting Gert-Jan, Marc, Till and Conrad Seyfert
2015-09-02
- Locality: LUXX Bonn
- 19.30 - 22.00
Participating: Anja, Uli, Oliver, Carmen, Matthias, Till, Martin, Danilo, Hinrich
Agenda
- GeoSummer 2016 in Bonn. Report from Uli, Martin, Torsten, Till about meeting on 08.18.2015
- we missed that issue
- general Timetable setup by Uli and Till
- Uli is the time-table-responsible
- Uli hacks timetable into WIKI and asks tems to refine their own timetables. The aim is, to recognize cross-links and to avoid, groups waiting for each other
- Sponsoring packages and additional packages
- first draft of sponsoring packages is on the website
- we changed "exhibitor space" from sizes to yes/no. We have to work on this issue, as we do not know, how WCCB works, if there is a booth builder, etc.
- we added some tasks sponsors may add to their package, such as "lenyards, Ice Breaker, Coffe Break, etc.
- Till is against too high early bird discounts (proposal 5% before xx.xx.2016)
- Geohack-Weekend 20./21. of August 2016
- need to reserve BaseCamp for one more day
- pullman coach excluded, as this is traditionnally used by FROSCON for childs overnight
- Matthias from FROSCON contacts Uli, so we can work together here, reduces the beds we have, but also the risk not to fill every availability
- add Mapserver to "interested project" list
- Workshops - state of the Art
- we have 8 rooms in GSI and 2/3 in Deutsche welle fixed, we can cancel them without costs up to 60 days before event
- this gives us room to check for better places (BIT, Cesar?)
- none has PC's
- idea is to buy used PC's (e.g. "lapstore") for around 150€ and place them at disposal for e.g. "schools for Africa" or "GeoforAll" or whatever...
- we might run 8 workshops (in GSI) with Pc's and make to "bring your own" workshops. To be discussed with Program Committee
