Hi Maning,
Your timing is good, as this morning I added your local chapter to an
osgeo.org page[1].
I'm very happy to hear of your FOSS4G plans. Of course you might have
noticed that OSGeo is going through some growing pains recently, trying
to find ways to manage the growth of FOSS4G. Recently the idea has been
put forward by Venka that the FOSS4G name can be used if one or more
OSGeo Charter Members are one of the event organizers. I support that
"soft condition", and in your case, since you are a Charter Member, you
are more than welcome to use the name for your event :)
I hope this information helps you. And I hope you keep us all informed
on the progress of your FOSS4G-Phillipines 2014 event!!!!!! :)

Dear everyone,
We are in the planning stage again for the "FOSS4G" track in the
philgeos 2014 this coming November. We have been hitching with the
PhilGEOS conference already as a FOSS4G track for two years already
[0, 1]. Piggybacking on other conferences allow us to reduce the cost
(to nearly 0) of running open source geospatial workshops.
One question, is it in the spirit of OSGEO to "brand" this as FOSS4G
Philippines? Are there official channels to toalk and disuss?
