[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G 2013 Nottingham Update
Last week's committee conference call was a bit sparse, as it was close to Easter and various members were lucky enough to be away from the freezing weather in the UK. Since my last update we hit the T-6 month countdown. Things are rapidly moving on. We are already getting registrations for the conference - get in now for the early bird discount. The workshop submission deadline passed and now the Workshop Subcommittee has a job of whittling down the submissions - and there were plenty - to make sure there's a set of high-quality, diverse learning activities at the conference. There have been similar workshop proposals from different groups, so there may be some collaborative opportunities going. The team will be in touch! Its not all work - we hope to entertain you too. We've been in contract discussions with an agency to bring you some fun stuff to our Gala Dinner in the GeoTent. Warning! There may be audience participation and possibly explosions. We're also on the verge of announcing another key sponsor. Most importantly, the conference presentation abstract submission deadline is the end of this week - so please reach out to all your contacts and social networks to plug this, and give the committee a terrific and difficult job at our face-to-face meeting in just over two weeks time. Submissions info here: http://2013.foss4g.org/programme/call-for-papers/ Before my next update we hope to have the community voting system running, so prepare to vote! It's Geo For All, so its your conference! Barry ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Anymore Contributions for the OSGeo Journal Volume 12?
Landon, We'll send you an annual report from the Finnish Chapter (In Formation) soon. We did put a quite a lot of effort into a FOSS4G bid and there are other interesting things worth reporting. Can you give a deadline report template perhaps?

I've got, or will soon get, annual report items from the following: - Korean Chapter - Italian Chapter - California Chapter - United Kingdom Chapter - Summer of Code Committee - Incubation Committee I would like to try to publish by the end of this April, which will be a month behind my goal. Let me know if you can submit an annual report for your chapter or software project. I've got an inteview lined up for Volume 12, but I'm also looking for: A software project that would be willing to help me with project spotlight article. A case study of an organization that successfully applied open source geospatial software. Please let me know if you can help with either of those items. Thanks so much for your support!
