Dear Conference committee, OSGeo friends; working on the FOSS4G and SotM 2022 organization I was able to see two different types of organization for the two conferences. I really like the idea of having a working group helping the LOC team that OSM foundation has, this helps a lot to simplify the work of LOC. So in these days I spoke with some people about my idea to create a working group in helping the different LOCs to have a successful FOSS4G (mainly the international one but it could also be done with regional if needed, for example setting up or helping with pretalx). Most of the people I spoke with really liked the idea so I added it to the board meeting and all the members supported the idea. I already found some people interested in being part of this working group.
This new group is not a replacement of the Conference Committee because they have two different purposes: - the Conference Committee has to put out the bid and choose the best candidate - the Conference resources (final name has to be decided but this is a good proposal of Michael) has to help the chosen candidate to set up a good FOSS4G and simplify the work and it is a operative entity I started a wiki page [0] and I'll be working on that in the next weeks, if you are interested to be part of and support this working group please add your name. I would like to have the first meeting by the end of September, after having a call with FOSS4G 2023 team.
