Anne: See the parallel Skate-Boarding of Fedora at http://fedoramagazine.org/lets-talk-about-fedora-project-objectives/ - I really like the idea of having 18 months goals, that are measurable, backed up by community agreement. Let's discuss this at the first Sprint. There are also some thoughts on Ubuntu governance that can inspire us, but I haven't gone through the whole discussion yet, and there are many differences between OSGeo and Ubuntu; so I'm not sure on how much we can learn from it.
Logistics
Location
The organisers of FOSSGIS conference suggest these places:
- Coworking space pi28 (website in German) - price list on the website.
- List of hotels with conference facilities (city of Münster website, in German)
- Anne had already a look at Factory Hotel, which has 9 meeting rooms, including a small one.
Transportation
Translated from FOSSGIS transportation & accommodation page.
As we haven't chosen the exact location yet, the suggeste public transport stops could change; however, general car and plane suggestions already apply.
By car
The motorway A 43 ends just south of Münster and the A1 motorway provides the exits Münster Münster North and South. However, the available parking at the old castle in Münster is very limited at the time of the conference. It is therefore advisable to upgrade to the bus (tickets are expected to be provided free of charge for the duration of the conference) or to mingle with the people of Münster and cycling (Leeze) to go to the castle.
By public transport
The following stops are near the castle:
- "District Court" with the bus lines 11, 12, 13 and 22nd
- "Hüfferstiftung" with the bus lines 11, 12, 13, 22 and even the bus 14th
- "Neutor" with the bus lines 1 (or "Palace Square"), 5 to 6.
Helpful information is also provided by the planner of the Deutsche Bahn and the interactive network of Stadtwerke Münster.
On Hauptabhnhof Münster is the bicycle rental station (website in German).
By plane
The local airport Münster-Osnabrück (FMO) is relatively small, but some companies may offer a convenient connecting flights.
Larger / alternative airports are:
- Dortmund (DTM, ~ 1 20 hours by train)
- Dusseldorf (DUS ~ 2: 15 hours on the train)
- Cologne / Bonn (CGN ~ 2: 30 hours on the train)
- Hannover (HAJ ~ 2.30 hours by train)
- Frankfurt (M) (FRA, ~ 3: 00 hours by train)
- Niederrhein (NRN Ryanair smaller airport, ~ 3: 30 hours on the train)
