Hello,
during the last Steering Committee call, we agreed that at the same time
or shortly after announcing the Conference 2011 Call for Papers, we
should also issue a public Call for Location for the even next year.
Quoting from http://conference.libreoffice.org/pr/: "The location for
the LibreOffice Conference in 2012 will be decided by the Community in
an open Call for Locations process, details about which will be
announced soon."
Anyone wants to start a draft? We should also discuss this during
tomorrow's marketing conference call, so I'll add it to the agenda.
We should embed some information in this, the latest CfLs for the OOoCon
that John and I drafted might be helfpul. We tried to make clear this is
a community event, where some active community on the location is
needed, and what is required on infrastructure, how much work it means
etc. - and we should do so for the LibreOffice conference as well. This
definitely helps to avoid proposals like we received a few years ago,
where some commercial event organizers wanted to host the conference,
without any connection to the community, or where someone wanted to do
this on his own as one-man-show.
