Bart,
all of this has already been done and the conference committee voted 9
to 7 for Beijing in the third go. So now it is "too late" to change
anything. The board vote was the last chance to stop it but it passed
with just one -1.
Now that we have decided to go for China it is not anymore a question of
"if" but "how". I am absolutely pushing FOSS4G Beijing now and hope that
all in OSGeo will do the same. And we will have yet another great event
in a great location - I am sure of that - becasue so far we have always
managed to bend things so that they fit us well.
But thanks for your comment that none of this has caught your attention
up to now. Knowing that you are more than average attentive for this
type of issues shows that the need for broader communication is even
bigger than expected.
FWIW, I just wanted to add that I agree with Arnulf on all points:
1- It's too late to change the decision (we are going to Beijing)
2- We need as a group to do all that we can to help make Beijing a
success (and it *will* be a success)
3- Bart's intervention confirms the need for broader communication
