Conference Committee, Bidders, Good morning (PDT). The results have been tabulated, and every member of the committee has voted (yay).
Many thanks to both teams for bidding. Many of the members commented on the difficulty in selecting a bid, given the quality and attention to detail in both bids. The voting results are Nottingham 8 Helsinki 2 So, FOSS4G 2013 will be in Nottingham, UK. To the Nottingham team: - The sooner you can carve your dates into stone, the better for promotion and planning - Remember that you will have to submit a budget to the Board for approval, and the "Official, Really for Reals Acceptance" of your bid is contingent on the Board formally accepting your budget and bid. Let's move that process forward briskly. To the Helsinki team: - You had a great bid and a wonderful venue and plan, I hope you'll consider bringing your preparations and research to hosting an EU Regional event for 2014. Thanks again to everyone, Paul, your 2013 RFP bid guy _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
