Interesting idea What do you think the outcome would be? Seems to me that it would make it would reduce competition in ‘elsewhere group’. Would it increase S American chance of hosting a global FOSS4G?
My view, it makes sense to keep 1/3 FOSS4G’s in N America and 1/3 in Europe with the 3rd in ‘elsewhere group’ - it encourages outreach to new places once in 3 years while ensuring that the event is hosted in the back yards of the 2 largest communities of contributors and users in the other years. ______ Steven > On 8 Jul 2015, at 13:45, Ian Turton <[email protected]> wrote: > > Following a brief twitter discussion - Jeff suggested I raise the idea here. > > Now that we have FOSS4g-NA as a regular conference should we consider opening > up the "third" location in our conference rotation to be Americas - i.e. > North and South America instead of lumping South America in with Asia and the > Pacific (or the anywhere else group)? > > I can understand the thinking back in 2010 but I know there are now large > groups in Brazil and the Spanish language group is active in South America > too. > > Ian > > -- > Ian Turton > _______________________________________________ > Conference_dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev
