Phil,
Brian meant http://2013.foss4g.org/map/nottingham/
Thanks for offer re website. One will be needed if the bid is successful.
Previously I think its been run as a WP instance of the OSM servers (the
OSMF one probably).
Suggest you add your name to the bid page on the wiki.
Cheers
Andy

Am I mistaken in thinking FOSSGIS is 12-14 June (based on this

P.s. No idea whether you need it, but I'm willing to assist in creating a
conference website.

Hi everyone
Results from Birmingham Convention Bureau's hunt for venues is back with
quotes from Aston Uni, Edgbaston cricket ground, Ricoh Arena, Holiday Inn,
Clarendon Suite. Based on an attendance of 300 for a conference Fri-Sun
with setup time on Thursday the costs( which includes all refreshments and
lunches) I estimate are:
Aston Uni £24100
Edgbaston Cricket Ground £35350
Holiday Inn £31750
Clarendon Suite £32000
Ricoh Arena was way out and subject to having a match on simultaneously so I
discounted it
Other venues are still to reply
If we have a delegate fee of EUR 50 then that will raise £12000, if EUR 100
then £24,000 which gives us a manageable total to raise through sponsorship.
There will be other expenses which I put with a stab in the dark at £15000
All costs are ex VAT so we either need a charitable vehicle for avoiding VAT
or increase all the above by 17.5%
Availability
Aston 6-8 Sep
Edgbaston 6-8 13-15 Sep
Holiday Inn 6-8 13-15 Sep
Clarendon 13-15 Sep
Aston Uni has by far the best connectivity facilities the cheapest costs and
is the most central - wins my vote (subject to what comes in today). Only
downside is availability - not ideal for dates to coincide with FOSSGIS
Let me know what you think. Andy R should I distribute to others outside the
W Mids who have shown an interest in helping us?
Regards
Brian
