Hi David I also notice that the same plans are happening with FOSS4G-CEE, as it continue to grow and move around Europe each year. I am watching and seeing that the past conference chairs are always in touch with each other and discussing this (such as Jáchym and Vasile). Essentially they are building a mini selection committee as they grow.
I am happy that this is happening (the self-organizing of FOSS4G events). It is fascinating to watch from afar. -jeff On 2013-08-30 12:12 PM, David William Bitner wrote: > With the second FOSS4G North America in Minneapolis in the history books > and looking forward to the "Big Show" in Portland next Fall, I'd love to > start the ball rolling to drum up interest in hosting FOSS4G North > America in the Spring of 2015. > > There are two parts here: > > 1) Who's interested?
