Thank you to all who put this bid together. It would be wonderful to see FOSS4G SotM Oceania in Fiji. I agree with Adam's comments about continuity. I think the success of our conferences will be greater when we have a proportion of each year who stay on to support the incoming conference committee.
I was not familiar with the Pasifika term but just Googled it and it makes a lot of sense, particularly with the diverse team proposed so far.
