If you commit to a schedule now, that will give the teams time and
MOTIVATION to start organizing themselves and figuring out things they
need to know in advance of the request (what venues, what costs, what
committee members, etc, etc).
For example:
- April 31, release RFP
- May 31, close RFP
- June 15, announce decision
There is nothing like ones imminent demise to focus the mind.

As the conference committee chair I was thinking of an end of April
release of the hosting-RFP (as Perry, it has been also on my mind, but
Mar31st deadlines get in the way!).

Hey, Tim,
I was going to bring it up to the conference committee but you beat me
to it. You're absolutely right, of course, get the process started
now so that the next year's host will have time to prepare. Many of
the big conference facilities need reservation almost a year in
advance. The earlier the location is selected the sooner the hosts
can book a place.

Ok, so we haven't even had this years conf, but given the time it takes
for a local chapter to organise a conf, I think it would be a good idea
to start the process for selecting the location for the 2008 conf. If
all goes well, perhaps the 2008 conf location could be announced at the
closing session of foss4g2007?
Just a thought,
Tim Bowden
