Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] regional conferences
+1. I will be happy to help Greek friends in organizing the meeting. Anyway I'm wondering if sooner or later is possible to organize a Mediterranean conference Maria 2012/6/15 Dimitris Kotzinos kotz...@csd.uoc.gr Dear all, I saw with great pleasure the call for organizing the 1st Latin America FOSS4G conference. Congrats to the friends there and let me add my offer to help in any possible way to those who preceded me. The purpose of my e-mail though is a bit different. Taking into account the fact the this year we had the North America regional conference, the central European regional conference and now the Latin America Regional Conference I feel that it is due time to move to a mixed scheme of an international and regional conferences. Thus I propose that we have the odd years (starting from 2013) ONLY the international event (our very successful FOSS4G conference) and the even years (starting from 2014) ONLY the regional conferences. Being in a world in crisis where funding for travel becomes more difficult and where people cannot participate in too many conferences in a year I feel that this is an acceptable compromise. So I call upon the board to decide on this proposal and, of course, all of you to argue in favor :) or against! One final note for the European participation on this list: I suggest that we start organizing a regional European level FOSS4G (if there is agreement also integrating in it the Central-Eastern Europe event) starting from 2014. I volunteer Greece to host the first such event (OK, given that things in Greece will not turn out too bad :)). If there is an initial agreement we can organize things a bit more.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] regional conferences
Hello Stefano, Sorry, i've listed only 'northern' med countries (greece is not northern i guess ?), because i am not aware if there are local chapters at the south or east, that's why i said 'may be others' too [?] (OSGeo probably needs a map of local chapters and members by the way) I fully agree that such an event could gather regular euro osgeo folks as well as new comers, and would be a great occasion to form new local chapters for sure. +1 By the way, do you know if there are osgeo initiative in 'fer' East med or Maghreb already ?
