    • 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 laso include some offerings of field trips for the saturday.


  • Sponsorship & Exhibition
    • Chair: Hinrich Paulsen
    • 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.

    • 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.
