This proposed process is a result of the [FOSS4G 2011 Reboot] discussion on the conference-dev mailing list, which concluded with votes on the proposed process and proposed regional rotation:
- http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference_dev/2009-April/000885.html
- http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/conference_dev/2009-October/000944.html
Basics
- FOSS4G 2011 will most likely be held in North America.
- 2012 will be in Asia/Pacific and 2013 will be in Europe.
- "Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing Committees (LOC) in North America. If there are no submissions from groups in North America, letters from other regions will then be solicited.
- If more than one letter of intent is received, the Conference Committee members will vote by each selecting a single letter as their choice. A letter must receive the backing of at least two members to move on to the bid stage.
- 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.
