| + | Suggestions | ||
| + | |||
| + | Use this space for your suggestions for future OSGeo conferences. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc. | ||
| + | We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great. | ||
| + | Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z? | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above. | ||
| + | The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report. | ||

| + | Marketing (website, flyers, posters) | ||

| + | CHF 18,734 | ||
| + | Total | ||
| + | CHF 237,159 | ||
| + | Suggestions | ||
| + | |||
| + | • OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee. | ||
| + | • Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops). | ||
| + | • Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders. | ||
| + | • 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies. | ||
| + | • Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized. | ||
| + | • Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation. | ||

It would very helpful to have some spreadsheet / database / Software, which helps us with the handling of participants, workshops, billings, reports etc.
We actual working with some spreadsheets and a Wiki. A consistent system where we can handle all administrative stuff for the conference would be great.
Do you have any suggestions or experience with system X or system Z?
I attached a spreadsheet (available at http://www.osgeo.org/conference/archives/fossgis) which reflects the changes on our bank account, I have not real “report” by click, due to the problem described above.
The spreadsheet is meant to raise the transparency of our work rather than to report.

Suggestions
• OSGeo Board meeting should be included into the RFP of the local committee. • Demo Fest not parallel to other event (conference or workshops). • Workshop price should be higher to offer better services and to give small compensation (free passes, gifts, money) to the workshop leaders. • 2 categories for sponsorship was a good idea and was well understood by the companies. • Early Social Event fees were too low. CHF 100 seems to be a good price for a social event as we offered, of course it depends on the type of social event that is organized. • Local committee should pay an organization fee to the OSGeo Foundation.

Suggestions
- we provided transportation from hotel to conference, and this is a requirement for future conferences
- we gave registrants the ability to choose their top 4 workshops to attend
- we made sure each night had a social event, even if it was just an arranged place to meet at after hours, and this made the conference a success (in terms of feedback)
- we used a LIVECD for the Linux workshops
- our downfall financially is that we started looking for sponsors too late
- we had a special student registration price, and this was very popular
- our venue costs were very high because we had to rent the space from the university
