Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Themes

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi Jo,

Yes, I think a good conference theme is useful, both for participants, 
presenters and the conference organizers to help focus the conceptualization 
and programming of the conference. A good theme should really help to shape the 
conference and give people handles they can use when targeting their 
presentations and workshops, as well as focussing pre-conference collaborations.

I purposely said theme and not themes. Although two themes may still work well, 
having ten themes kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. 

Cheers,
Jeroen

 Hi All,
 
 A question really to previous FOSS4G organisers- did you think about having a 
 theme for the event, or did you just stick with the Free and Open Source 
 Software for Geospatial tag-line and leave it at that? Do people think that 
 conference themes are useful/beneficial? Do they help with coming up with 
 clearly defined tracks for papers?
 
 Thanks
 
 Jo

Hi All,

A question really to previous FOSS4G organisers- did you think about having
a theme for the event, or did you just stick with the Free and Open Source
Software for Geospatial tag-line and leave it at that? Do people think
that conference themes are useful/beneficial? Do they help with coming up
with clearly defined tracks for papers?

Thanks

Jo
