FOSS4G 2016 Teams

Main topics where chairs/heds needed

 * Chair of Scitentific Track
 * Franz-Josef Beer


 * Chair of program committee
 * Volker Mische


 * Workshop organization (OPEN)
 * Marco already offered his help and also Pirmin said, that he would like to help with the OSGeo-live DVD. Having a local here for aquisicion of Workshop rooms and contact person to university would be very helpful.


 * Financial Issues  (OPEN)
 * Torsten Brassat, who helped at earlier FOSSGIS conferences offered some help here. Also I guess that Fred Ramm as our treasurer might contribute a little here, if he wants to. More people welcome


 * Social-events-organizer (OPEN)
 * The frame of the social events are set, but I think we need one or two heads caring for gala event and ice breaker especially. This may laso include some offerings of field trips for the saturday.


 * Sponsorship & Exhibition  (OPEN)
 * Sponsorship is a source where we can generate early income, so to start this process early is a major part. Also I guess, that most companies are planning their financial budget this year, so it is important to let them know about the possibilities of sponsoring FOSS4G.


 * Public Relations (OPEN)
 * I talked to Textkoch this FOSSGIS and he offered his help together with Monika Resch here (of course not for free :-. Public relations work may play a major role to get many people attending our conference. So for this issues we need a group of people and also ideas on how to structure this. Klaus Greve also said, that we might talk to the public realtions office of the university first.


 * Family weekend
 * Peter Mooney
 * An idea brought in by the irish proposal was to make a family weekend before the conference. Peter, the chair of the Dublin team offered his help here, but he definetely needs a helping local hand here.


 * Code Sprint (OPEN)
 * We need an organizers of the code sprint. The group cares for room, snacks and acts as contact persons for this event.


 * Techniue (OPEN)
 * There are competent people from WCCB, but we definietely need a group of persons taking care of the conference technique ingeneral.
