| Steven F. | Website - Thanks ever so much Barry | September 29, 2013 | 15 comments |
| Barry R. | project donations - £500 for Django and £500 for OJS is good. | November 25, 2013 | 4 comments |
| Steven F. | Wrap up meeting - 20th Nov - Wizard stuff @Matt & @Barry I have stuck a direct link at the top of the About menu. I've also inserted a page on the top of the News menu http://2013.foss4g.org/post-event-feedback-and-comment/ which includes all of the blog posts that we have collected within this basecamp. If anyone finds othe... | November 20, 2013 | 5 comments |
| Steven F. | Wrap up on 20th and wiki - I've put a stub here http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2013_Reflections_by_the_LOC#Registration_Systems Can someone step up and extend this | October 31, 2013 | 33 comments |
| Franz-Josef B. | Draft accounts - +1 for OSGeo training fund or similar things. I appcreciate the work of OSGeo foundation, but IMHO it's to much centralized to North Amerika. I am sure that AGI people did a great and supportive job. | November 19, 2013 | 7 comments |
| Steven F. | Post event articles and feedback - Here is the summary of the sponsor responses https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-9RbgatxoYC8j7w75SCLqOjl9El5ItkyAcpnSXxV8CM/viewanalytics And here is the detailed report https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmwShPAd7pU4dFlGR2JPN1ByQkZyRk1VNllBY2U5bUE#gid=0 If I can anonymise the summary I w... | September 24, 2013 | 4 comments |
| Antony S. | Post Event Actions - Hi Claire, am getting hold of bank details for payment of MapAction sums - assume that's best for you? | October 4, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Matt W. | Webex meeting? - I'm not going to make it, as I've got to pop out to pick Reuben up from school. | September 27, 2013 | 12 comments |
| Jo C. | FOSS4G sponsorship - I'm OK about this as long as our disclaimer says specifically that we offered a single email blast for each sponsor as part of their package, so that people know they are not going to get bombarded with emails or have their addresses sold to mailing lists. | October 2, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Jeremy M. | Wrap up tasks - Thanks Steven. I can make the call between 3 & 4. | October 2, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Steven F. | Post event delegate and sponsor feedback surveys - I have amended slightly | September 9, 2013 | 18 comments |
| Mark I. | bits left in the vol room... - I think the fleece is mine! | September 21, 2013 | 3 comments |
| Suchith A. | Map Gallery updates - Thanks Barry. This is looking good. Ken - good work on the map gallery success and also good to see the public participation. It will be good to plan to do this again for ICC 2015 in Rio. | September 26, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Jeremy M. | ELOGeo - Certainly, to re-iterate, the two systems are for different purposes, although those are similar in this instance. ELOGeo is there as an archive of re-usable teaching & learning materials, albeit essentially presentations & workshop docs in the main part. Any materials are uploaded with a CC-by-S... | September 25, 2013 | 8 comments |
| Barry R. | New web page widgets - Have added an 'Archived Material' box (hopefully Andrew will sort out some tagging system or playlist so we can link to foss4g vids) and moved event photos to homepage right. Have added a link for Foss4G 2014 in a widget box too. | September 25, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Peter B. | Feedback on "#bestfoss4gever" - Hi all, thanks for the understanding responses. And again thanks for the fantastic job :). And just to be clear, I wasn't criticising anyone for not being in Denver, just pointing out that because nobody was, you couldn't directly compare. And you did handle the emergence of the North American lo... | September 24, 2013 | 5 comments |
| Barry R. | Set up twitter archive - Wednesday afternoon instead? This is from a random sample of 8000 tweets, since my PC would fall over trying to wordcloud all quarter of a million. | September 8, 2013 | 17 comments |
| Steven F. | FOSS4G Heros - I deleted some of the people at the top once we had given them their badges e.g. Will and Jeff. There are probably a couple more who have received a badge e.g. Ivan who was also recognised for his song. | September 18, 2013 | 9 comments |
| Steven F. | Academic Bursaries - write ups - News would be fine | September 24, 2013 | 3 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Photos needed for FOSS4G press article - Barend - yes, I remembered that he was just asked to review the conference. It was just his name that I was missing! Overall, some coverage would help point people, particularly those who weren't there, at the videos online & talks in ELOGeo & elsewhere. Jeremy | September 24, 2013 | 12 comments |
| Mark I. | Closing party video - Jo, of course. I'm waiting/hoping for more videos to integrate. Also have a bit more time to cut things about the code sprints and map galleries in. | September 24, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Steven F. | Blog roll - Can someone add the post event articles on FOSS4G to our news section I found this https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/geospatialengineering/2013/09/23/foss4g13-3-days-of-peace-love-and-maps/ and of course there is this http://www.archaeogeek.com/blog/2013/09/22/foss4g-2013-thoughts/ by our very own archaeogeek | September 23, 2013 | |

| Jeremy M. | Pledge Display - You beat me to it!! | September 21, 2013 | 3 comments |
| Abi P. | Conference team hoodies- choose your preference an - I have been missing my ladies fit M hoodie since Monday... I have come to the conclusion that one of you guys has probably picked it up. Can you check what you are wearing - the clue is on the label (and probably the zip being the other way around). If you don't want the rest of LOC to know you h... | August 3, 2013 | 23 comments |
| Matt W. | Content for next delegate mail - Hi Steven, Can you please mention the free workshops in the next delegate email: sign-up on the day at registration, first come first serve: “Thu 12:00”“Fri 08:00”“Sat 08:00” All workshops are in Sir Clive Granger Building B29, some sharing of machines may be required in order to allow the maximu... | September 18, 2013 | |

| Antony S. | Programme Booklet: Post-print Errata - Latest version of programme changes printout. We will probably make this the last....

I have been informed by the Building safety officer that it need to be moved asap. We need a big van/truck urgently arranged so we can get it to EMCC. Thanks. Suchith | September 16, 2013 | |
| Ian E. | Test that lab PCs boot OSGeo-Live 7.0 *USB* - Not booting from USB in Hallward library: WUIHALTR machine numbers...18, 25, 26 ± machine 20 starts to boot but gets stuck on a black screen. These machines not checked 1, 2, 3, 7 & 8 | September 7, 2013 | 20 comments |

| Abi P. | Volunteering Actions - that's very kind of you Mark, but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with asking her to do that - worst comes to worst I will move off site and give her my space. | June 25, 2013 | 62 comments |
| Mark I. | Late night GeoCamp movies? - I was going to suggest the Coca Cola Cup winning years of '97 and '99 for Leicester City. However, that little barb seemingly found its mark. | September 12, 2013 | 13 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Marquee is up - do we need step-free access? - Bah! Hmm, I'll try to get a good understanding - how hard can it be?! ;-) | September 12, 2013 | 7 comments |
| Jeremy M. | OGC/OSGEO Meal - Thanks Mark | September 13, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Jeremy M. | Check if the PCs in Trent B16 can run 3D content v - Re. B26e - I've checked, Chrome is now on (at least on the machine I tried) & runs the 3D torus example without problems. Virtual Box is still 4.1.0. I checked & tried installing the add-on pack but it fails because it does need administrator permissions. So B26e is feasible & they may just have ... | August 22, 2013 | 22 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Check that the GeoSolutions GeoServer LiveDVD runs - I've email further about this - looks like we can run off a local drive in Windows (but I must get the associate account sorted!) | August 22, 2013 | 5 comments |

| Steven F. | Changes to the master delegate list - Let's wait until Tuesday or Weds as there may well be one further cancellation. Claire can you ask Shelley once more whether we can squeeze one more person into student rooms | September 11, 2013 | 20 comments |
| Steven F. | Contacts List - I have added the emergency numbers for Field and Lawn (marquee) Might be an idea to get numbers for deVere contact and .... | July 19, 2012 | 2 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Geosolutions Workshop - Matt, Where did we get to with Geosolutions, who wanted to run on Windows using their own package of software? I know I tested it (and still have a USB drive with the software on) but there were some wrinkles because their ZIP file wouldn't uncompress properly on a cluster machine. I had to uncom... | September 13, 2013 | |
| Abi P. | Final Party - Many apologies Mark, thanks for prompt - emailed. | September 12, 2013 | 3 comments |

| Jeremy M. | Proxy settings to allow OSGeo Live 7.0 to access t - OK, this has been double-checked running in Live 7.0 DVD in the Hallward cluster. Could anyone take this and produce a version for distribution, e.g. on the web page? | September 5, 2013 | 2 comments |

| Jeremy M. | Not going to the dogs... - I agree with Jo - I'll tell the stadium to let the block booking go (as they'll probably want to anyway) but we can leave it there as an idea at least. Maybe modify the text on the website to remove the references to the block booking? | September 12, 2013 | 5 comments |
| Steven F. | Route map - Might be an idea to reduce image sizes so that it will fit on less pages | September 11, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Steven's opening and welcome bit - I'd go (have been going) for #FOSS4G13 for the event - it's a toss up between utter transparency (not the 13th event) and losing 2 characters from the tweet! (I wish I'd gone for a shorter ID than jeremy_morley sometimes!). Remember, no Gary now to mention, unless just for being willing. WiFi acc... | August 30, 2013 | 4 comments |

| Matt W. | Update Workshop schedule graphic on website to sho - Hi Barry, We've moved W3 to Hallward Library to satisfy their technical requirements.

| Jeremy M. | Provide a document detailing what's required to co - Yes, I think so - if we had the luxury of lots of time I would put screenshots in of some of the interface panels, etc., but the instructions should be detailed enough as text. If you know what you're doing (!) it takes about 5 mins or so to run through. Jeremy | September 3, 2013 | 6 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Confirm number of individuals that require guest l - Hopefully not relevant - I'll check where it's got to, but I should have an associate account (in my name) that we just log people into on multiple machines. (And hope they behave!!) | September 3, 2013 | 1 comment |

| Claire G. | No Nathan Woodrow - I have marked Tim Sutton as a presenter on the delegate list. | September 8, 2013 | 5 comments |
| Abi P. | LOC Schedule - Thanks guys. Bared: 19 Franz-Josef: 49 Barry: 57 Ant: 58 and now all the sessions have chairs. Jo, I am sure you will be tied up with other things, although with 70 odd volunteers chances are we will get a few issues / gaps to fill on the day. | August 30, 2013 | 28 comments |
| Ian E. | Live DVD - Just to allay any fears - I'll be bringing the DVD's with me rather than posting. I'll also have a small van on site all week (Sunday - Sunday) if anything needs transporting anywhere. | August 26, 2013 | 27 comments |

| Jeremy M. | Gala Night - OK, outcomes from meeting Shelley: • Shelley will print drinks vouchers, give them to us on Monday. May not be quite in house style but takes a job off us, though if someones wants to send her a JPEG of the conference logo that would be fine. • We should encourage people out of the EMCC between 6... | May 16, 2013 | 49 comments |
| Antony S. | Time table - There is one in the gala night thread, can't access on phone but should be near end.

| Jeremy M. | Timetable - Please hold off till I've finished my meeting with Shelley & I'll update you all. | September 9, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Matt W. | Check VirtualBox version in Geography Lab - Hi Jeremy, Do you think it would be possible to install the extension pack to enable 3D acceleration. I think it's: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.4-74291.vbox-extpack. Cheers, Matt. | September 3, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Claire G. | Web site updates - I dont mind when we close registrations. I am still updating numbers and will get the delegate list out later. | September 6, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Rollo H. | To unconference or not to unconference - While I hate to see another thing drop by the way, I think from a practical point of view without Gary we should let this slide. Giving space to BoF is a good replacement (as there is a known demand) - and self organising as well. | September 6, 2013 | 7 comments |
| Rollo H. | Jobs Board - Can this be merged with the 'notice boards' discussion? They seem highly compatible ;-) | September 8, 2013 | 2 comments |

| Claire G. | Table-arrangements - No I am up to 153 bookings at the moment, but that includes the AGI team (and we may duck out of the meal part of this event) I will send you a list tomorrow - hopefully we will nearly be at capacity then. | May 20, 2013 | 6 comments |
| Jeremy M. | Room bookings outside EMCC / Hotel / GeoCamp - 1) 55 2) Yes, 7 3) As far as I know - Claire would know otherwise. | May 10, 2013 | 3 comments |

| Steven F. | Provide workshop delegate details to presenters - Go ahead, it is likely to be easiest | September 3, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Jeremy M. | Confirm that delegates can use their own laptop an - It'll be wireless only - De Vere network on EMCC or in the GeoCamp & hotel; UoN-Guest on campus. Wired needs the machine to be registered and be up to certain security standards (eg antivirus, etc.). | September 2, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Rollo H. | Team Call 2013-08-30 - I'm happy with the PR element - in regards to what we offer I was being guided by this page: http://2013.foss4g.org/registration/academic-bursaries/ but you will need to advise me what is available. In regard to volunteering, do you actually want him to volunteer for something (and if so, what an... | August 30, 2013 | 4 comments |

| Matt W. | Collecting the iPad Wall - Hi Rollo, I'm down in the Astun office in Epsom Tue, Wed this week. I normally travel by train but if the iPad Wall still needs collecting from London I'd be happy to pick it up Wed afternoon. We've got a part converted camper van with no units down the one side which I assume will be plenty big ... | September 1, 2013 | |

| Rollo H. | Location maps on the web - Mark - what happened to the bike (and you - obviously) and was it connected to the ferry in some way? | August 28, 2013 | 12 comments |
| Ian E. | Workshop Technical Requirements - Thanks Jo - It was keeping up to date with registrations (and communicating with people to make sure they really are coming) that I fell behind with. I caught up last night and we now know that registrations are healthy enough for us to be happy - currently: 25 confirmed 30 more registered but un... | August 23, 2013 | 8 comments |

| Jo C. | Single colour "laptop rest instructions" required - Hi Rollo, No, it can't, what we end up with is a teeny tiny logo rotated through 90 degrees within the print area as is. I tried :-( What we have is the best we can get I'm afraid. **EDIT** I've attached the mockup that they sent with the text rotated. Let me know ASAP which you prefer- I'm out o... | August 6, 2013 | 22 comments |

| Abi P. | Delegate email 25 Aug - Thanks all, sent now, no more comments on text please. I'm not too sure what sponsor email list Steven has been using for emails, so I will leave it unless anyone else is sure? We didn't have anything specific for sponsors anyway I don't think and I think most of them will be on the delegate list... | August 25, 2013 | 4 comments |
| Steven F. | Code sprint venue - If there's a cost for the porter then we could consider covering that. Would make sense to cluster multiple Sunday activities in the same place.

| Barry R. | GeoCamp Layout - I suppose people at the back can stand on the tables. Sitting round the outside is pointless for the Nerds' performance, you won't be able to see anything unless everyone in front is sitting on the floor. | August 22, 2013 | 4 comments |
| Matt W. | Workshops and hack - I'm sure that would be fine, you may find that some workshop presenters would like to come over to the hack when they are not hosting their workshop. Maybe post to http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference-workshops? Matt. | August 22, 2013 | 1 comment |

Maybe we should put it out for general comment (Rollo, Jeremy, Barry, Steven)- then when they are happy (today if poss) we need to create the white on black background version for the clipboard. I'll put it out for comment now. Thanks a lot :-) Jo | August 14, 2013 | 14 comments |

| Rollo H. | Media Partners - this sounds a good idea. PR would - I'm guessing - go out 'generally' to all our media contacts. Do our Media partners get anything special? I personally think not - we gave them the opportunity to attend.... Abi - if you do identify a volunteer I'm happy to work with them on this. | August 16, 2013 | 5 comments |

| Jo C. | Badges for "FOSS4G Heroes" - I've sent our existing pdf as a starter, and asked a bunch of questions- if they tell us we need to simplify it then fine, but it would be nice if we can get away without. I'll let you know how they respond. | August 6, 2013 | 34 comments |
| Barry R. | Workshop delegate numbers - Possibly! It needs root access on the web server because the spreadsheet import code uses django libs to talk to the database directly.

| Rollo H. | remove Claus Nagel paper: session 41 - I've tagged this presentation as 'cancelled' - rather than removed it. Just as an experiment really to see what it did - and I've also unassigned it to the session, so the programme shows the correct information now. | August 8, 2013 | 1 comment |

| Barry R. | Workshop schedule - Can we get that info on the web pages now then?

| Steven F. | Team Call 2013-07-12 - Apologies for the lateness of the agenda for this afternoon's meeting. I know a lot of people aren't able to dial in today so we will probably have to skip a couple of topics and keep this as a short call. Feel free to add as usual | July 12, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Jeremy M. | Electrics in the GeoCamp - Shelley and I have to confirm dates but I already have a task to meet with Field & Lawn which is the first step.

| Steven F. | ISPRS Brochures - Yes I said “In fairness to our generous sponsors we can only allow sponsors to distribute marketing materials at the event.

| Steven F. | Sponsor benefits - The sponsors have been mailed several times to tell them that they need to book their accommodation and their extras (workshops etc) I have always assumed that the sponsors got party entrance with their pass. No package for all 3 days without party included | May 29, 2013 | 2 comments |
| Matt W. | Contact previous individuals involved in workshops - I guess a little more publicity wouldn't hurt, so far I think all we've done is an announcement on discuss and Twitter. I did wonder if we should look to post to the various project lists but this may come across as spammy as it's likely that people will be subscribed to more than one list. | September 6, 2012 | 4 comments |

| Jo C. | Registration for sponsors - Yup, I just wanted to confirm the registration process for sponsors- I've contacted him anyway. FWIW the reason he hasn't had an email from Claire is that he's a new sponsor- hasn't been invoiced yet. Jo | May 7, 2013 | 4 comments |
| Barry R. | Upgrading amazon instance - Looking at the apache logs, I've noticed there's quite a few hits from image hot-linking of the logo from slashgeo and postgis.net. I don't think this is causing a load problem but I do wonder if they'd be better off hosting the image somewhere themselves. Glad they trust us not to change it to s... | May 3, 2013 | 3 comments |

| Rollo H. | An opportunity for art - I can see this working - we could have a 'paper' session where the background is explained (it needs explanation) followed by a later performance in an evening session or one of the 'group sessions'.

| Suchith A. | FOSS4G Abstracts and presentations archiving - Excellent. It is the author's responsibility to upload the files to the repository. We only provide the url details in the acceptance mail etc. I believe the workshop tutorials especially will directly be of benifit for our OSGeo Education efforts in the longterm.

| Peter B. | Useful article on making tech conferences newbie f - Pamela has some good points, thanks for sharing this Jo. But I think part of the challenge with FOSS4G is that much of the core techie audience does NOT want a "newbie friendly" event. They want to talk to other serious geeks and are fairly intolerant of non-geeks. That's a generalized statement ... | April 16, 2013 | 1 comment |
| Barry R. | Web site structure mess - Fair enough, but the empty 'About' page in the breadcrumb link on pages below MUST be fixed - suggest: The 'About FOSS4G' becomes a shorter, more practical page with some links to content about the conference. Then the current About FOSS4G page becomes a sub-page of 'About', titled 'Geo For All',... | April 16, 2013 | 2 comments |

But at this stage of FOSS4G's life, if we actually want the conference to be taken seriously as an academic outlet we need a well rated journal. T.GiS's ISI rating gives it that.

| Rollo H. | Eclipse Countdown.odt - Ah. Forgot to upload this. I've reviewed the Eclipse timeline in conjunction with ours. There are no significant oversights in our list despite ours being significantly shorter than theirs. This is more do to with the level of detail provided in the action points than anything. I have normalised ... | September 12, 2012 | 6 comments |
| Jeremy M. | OSM mapping of EMCC - So, would anyone like to confirm for some form of OSM mapping party in and around EMCC on 12 December? Claire, is this level of access to EMCC feasible for Shelley & co. on the 12th? | September 20, 2012 | 15 comments |
| Rollo H. | Publish sponsorship packages - Jeremy, Mark. After the conference call with Jo et al. on Friday it was confirmed that Barry is not that comfortable with doing any hard-copy design. He's happy to stick with assisting with the website. Thus are you able to follow up your contacts at Experience Nottingham and Tourist Board in rel... | October 1, 2012 | 11 comments |
| Matt W. | Code sprints - becoming marathons? - Getting some feedback from the community would be good. I may also be worth sharing some of our thinking so far on code sprints: https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/documents/1012502-code-sprints My personal view is that people will not want to book out 9 consecutive days for t... | October 6, 2012 | 2 comments |
| Mark I. | Access to Basecamp - I was confused to who the new people posting in the track were. I didn't see a resolution either to the discussion, but that may be down to me. Wish newbies would introduce themselves, but that could be me being cranky. | September 24, 2012 | 8 comments |

| Suchith A. | FOSS4G 2013 - GIS for All - May i suggest that we use both as needed for different audience. For example for Twitter and web stream "Geo4All" is good. For decision makers, professional audience, we can use "Geo for All" We will also announce "Geo for All Declaration" at FOSS4G 2013 welcoming all interested to join and suppo... | September 17, 2012 | 18 comments |

| Peter B. | Some thoughts on conference calls-for-papers - Yes, a good response. Not quite all in favor, but certainly a good majority so far. Including Paul Ramsey who is influential and has always run the community voting system in the past. As I said I'm on the fence personally, but certainly happy going with the anonymous route given the level of sup... | September 23, 2012 | 18 comments |
| Rollo H. | Website Design Brief - I've loaded up what we've received to basecamp (4 so far, from 3 different people - is the 'bow' one from Mark then?) https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/todos/14845962-create-design-brief | September 25, 2012 | 7 comments |

| Addy P. | Academic Track kick-off - I am back on the grid. Good work Mark, i have added a few ideas and comments. Would like to see some techie stream for programmers and a theme that entices applied GIS from non-core geography subjects. | July 13, 2012 | 31 comments |
| Antony S. | Thinking about sponsorship packages - Clipboards could be fun, presumably a potential sponsorship emblazonment item? Can we have a memory stick holder incorporated....? Agree avoid flyers if at all possible - they have the status of junk mail. | July 24, 2012 | 15 comments |
| Jo C. | Add blog aggregator - I've added Rollo's site to the list- at the moment we're not grabbing posts but as soon as I get chance, I'll add a "Buzz" page, as discussed. I guess we need a general shout out to people in basecamp for some more urls to include... | September 12, 2012 | 7 comments |
| Jo C. | Website Content Framework - Fixed- someone made an extremely determined attempt to hack the site- they got locked out by our wordpress security but made enough attempts to kill the database. Currently I'm the only one able to administer it at command-prompt level as it's on my Amazon instance, but I'll stick a bit of monito... | August 9, 2012 | 14 comments |

| Barry R. | Abstract/Paper Submissions Systems - Just been experimenting with OCS on my desktop while waiting for the OSGeo sysadmins to give us access. Install was straightforward. it can do blind anonymous reviewing, so that's good. The admins can put in a checklist for authors, so you can include '[ ] I have removed my name from the title pa... | September 11, 2012 | 11 comments |

| Jo C. | Site house-keeping - Dear Comms Chaps, For information, I have updated the site to the latest version of wordpress. I have not set up FTP access to the site at the moment, so the automatic upgrade doesn't work. I don't intend to set up FTP access at the moment, as it's by far the easiest way for the site to be hacked... | September 9, 2012 | |

| Jo C. | House-keeping in basecamp - Dear All, Thanks to a prod from Mike I've figured out how to create groups in basecamp so you don't have to manually decide who to send an email to. When you create a message you should now see the option to select people from a particular group- eg comms, academic track, workshops. I couldn't re... | September 7, 2012 | |
| Matt W. | Workshop and Code sprint planning notes - Just updated https://basecamp.com/1920286/projects/762306-foss4g-13/documents/1012502-code-sprints to capture what we're looking to do. Feel free to add / amend. I guess the next thing is a list of tasks. Matt. | September 6, 2012 | |

| Jeremy M. | Dinner before F2F, 5 Sept 2012 - Dear all, For those of you at OSGIS staying over for the FOSS4G F2F planning meeting tomorrow, I suggest that we go for dinner this evening at Mr Man's chinese restaurant. This is fairly nearby, on the edge of Wollaton Park. http://www.mrmansrestaurant.co.uk/ It's probably easiest to drive or get... | September 5, 2012 | |
| Peter B. | Location Tech - Events - I'm not quite sure what the proposal is ... that Location Tech themselves sponsor for $45K, or they are guaranteeing a total of that much in sponsorship from their member companies? As Mike says, there are several companies who have sponsored in previous years on Andrew's list, including RadiantB... | September 3, 2012 | 2 comments |

That is why i included all key people involved in the previous FOSS4G ATs to our group, so that we gain their collective knowledge and experience.

| Jo C. | Sponsorship Team - Happy to start with the list of supporters- shall we stick with a google doc for this so we can add columns etc? I have also approached Tyler Mitchell again, in his Locate Press guise, as I think it would be wonderful to have an open source GIS book stall at the event. On that note, there's also ... | July 24, 2012 | 1 comment |

| Mark I. | Food and Drink - I've kicked off conversations with EMCC about the food, drink and wifi at the centre. Wifi: Very important. There are issues with proxies if we're using EMCC's internet connection, due to it being on the JANET University cable. However as the hotel and management group is changing this is in flux... | August 1, 2012 | |
| Peter B. | Eclipse Location Tech Group sponsorship for FOSS4G - I have no real reservations about having Eclipse as a sponsor. In some ways I have greater reservations about other potential sponsors like ESRI, who don't have the commitment to Open Source that Eclipse does. In Denver I had to push back on sponsors occasionally. But it's a tricky balancing act ... | July 26, 2012 | 9 comments |

| Rollo H. | We have a mailing list - I'm happy with the idea of a 'formal and private' means of communicating with the board outside of our discussion area (i.e. the private discussion list).
