FOSS4G2019 Q&A Bucarest

Questions Till Adams:

• Can you please give some hints on dates when the conference will take place and also on the weather-conditions at that time?

Due to various considerations, we have 2 time intervals in mind: (1) end of August for the wonderful National Theater of Bucharest “I.L. Caragiale”. (2) mid-September for the House of Parliament / Conference Center Romexpo. The final decision will also take into consideration major events that take place in Bucharest in that timeframe, such as the biggest classical music festival and classical international competition of Eastern Europe, the George Enescu Festival. Weather wise, Romania has a temperate continental climate, with warm late summers, thus FOSS4G participants should expect around 25 - 28C with occasional summer showers, perfect for terrace talks.

* Do you have plans to involve other neighboured countries/loal chapters (if there any?)

* Do you expect, that you can attract your supporting organisations also to sponsor the event?

* There was a big discussion about how we can open the conference for as many attendees as possible. Of course, this also is a function of the whole package price (travel, accommodation, conference fee,). Could you please line out, what your plans are in order to make a travel to FOSS4G 2019 possible to as many people (especially students, people from 3rd-world countries) as possible?
