FOSS4G'13

The working site for the conference committee of FOSS4G 2013

Web site updates

Posted by Barry Rowlingson on September 6, 2013

When does main conference registration close? Or not until the day? I want to consider removing the box.

Map Gallery submissions close today. I'd like to replace that big box with some statistics: "Talks: 223, Workshops: 600hours, Delegates: 823" or whatever. I think I can get talk, workshop, presenter and committee sizes, number of hours of presentations and workshops might look good too. Can I get number of delegates (approx) and number of volunteers from the spreadsheets? Is it okay at this stage to put number of delegates (to nearest 10-20) on the site?

@Claire when do you want to close registrations?
@Barry I think you can reuse the registrations box on the home page, we still have Registration as a top menu item (we can change the page when Claire announces registration closed)

Delegate numbers should be ok to publish now, what do others think. Can we publish after Claire has picked up latest figures from reg system

I dont mind when we close registrations.

I am still updating numbers and will get the delegate list out later.
