Main topics where chairs/heds needed

  • Chair of Conference/Orga Team
    • Till Adams


  • Chair of program committee
    • Volker Mische


  • Chair of Scitentific Track
    • Franz-Josef Beer


  • Workshop organization
    • Carmen Tawalika
    • Marco already offered his help and also Pirmin said, that he would like to help with the OSGeo-live DVD.


  • Financial Issues
    • Torsten Brassat, who helped at earlier FOSSGIS conferences offered his time for this.


  • Social-events-organizer (OPEN)
    • The frame of the social events are set, but I think we need one or two heads caring for gala event and ice breaker especially. This may also include some offerings of field trips for the saturday - requested from Bonn Tourismus GmbH.


  • Sponsorship & Exhibition
    • Hinrich Paulsen
    • more help requested!
    • Sponsorship is a source where we can generate early income, so to start this process early is a major part. Also I guess, that most companies are planning their financial budget this year, so it is important to let them know about the possibilities of sponsoring FOSS4G.


  • Public Relations (OPEN)
    • I talked to Textkoch this FOSSGIS and he offered his help together with Monika Resch here (of course not for free :-(). Public relations work may play a major role to get many people attending our conference. So for this issues we need a group of people and also ideas on how to structure this. Klaus Greve also said, that we might talk to the public realtions office of the university first.


  • Family weekend
    • Peter Mooney
    • An idea brought in by the irish proposal was to make a family weekend before the conference. Peter, the chair of the Dublin team offered his help here, but he definetely needs a helping local hand here.



  • Code Sprint (OPEN)
    • We need an organizers of the code sprint. The group cares for room, snacks and acts as contact persons for this event.


  • Techniue (OPEN)
    • There are competent people from WCCB, but we definetely need a group of persons taking care of the conference technique in general.


  • Co-operation with WCCB, caterer, PCO
    • Till Adams
