Basics
- FOSS4G 2021 will most likely be held in "Other Regions".
- FOSS4G 2019 was in Bucharest, Romania
- FOSS4G 2020 will be in Calgary, Canada
- FOSS4G 2021 will be ... ?
- "Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) from "Other Regions" - these are all parts of the world excluding Europe and North America. If there are no submissions from groups outside Europe and North America, letters from these regions will then be solicited.
- Regardless whether one or more letter(s) of intent are received, the Conference Committee members will vote. The vote procedure for 2021 is as follows: Every member of CC votes on every LoI. LoI's that receive more than 50% of "thumbs up"-votes will pass stage 1.
- Selected letters will be invited to prepare a full bid based on the usual RFP process.
- A proposal outlining budget, potential sponsors, LOC members, and venue costs will be required, even if only one letter is received.
- Based on experiences from the past years, we would like to stress the following tasks:
- OSGeo anticipates a Travel Grant program. There is a budget from OSGeo, but we expect the bidder to further collect money for TGP and to offer free or at least reduced passes for grantees.
- The bid should stress the alignment with OSGeo values as given in OSGeo's CoC and contain hints on a conference CoC
