Basics

  • FOSS4G 2023 bid is open for all the countries in the world.
    • FOSS4G 2019 was in Bucharest, Romania
    • FOSS4G 2020 was planed for Calgary, Canada (canceled due to COVID-19)
    • FOSS4G 2021 will be in Buenos Aires, Argentina

  • "Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) from all the countries in the world.
  • Regardless whether one or more letter(s) of intent are received, the Conference Committee members will vote. The vote procedure for 2023 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
