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 was in Buenos Aires, Argentina
- FOSS4G 2022 was in Florence, Italy
- FOSS4G 2023 was in Prizren, Kosovo
- 2024 FOSS4G will be in Belém, Brazil
- 2025 FOSS4G will be Worldwide
- "Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) from all of the world.
- Regardless whether one or more letter(s) of intent are received, the Conference Committee members will vote. The vote procedure for 2024 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
