  • FOSS4G North America / EclipseCon / LocationTech Tech Summit 2015 (Andrew Ross)
    • Positive supportive feedback from the board on the idea
    • Some concerns have been raised to members of the board, Andrew asks people to speak up publicly so concerns can be addressed
    • Three conferences at the same time and same venue, common keynotes, common exhibition hall (main reason is less organising work)
    • Registration: one price for all, people can pick talks
