Jeroen,
I appreciate your frustration, and I know it is shared by many
others, as only 12 of the 34 3-hour workshop submissions could be
hosted. The criteria the workshop committee used in their evaluation
are here:

Paul and others,
I too was disappointed to be in the 22 of 34 workshop proposals that were
turned down and would like to suggest that the conference organizers
re-think the approach to include more workshops.
At FOSS4g2006, I found the workshops to be perhaps the most useful element
of the
Hi Paul,
Hard not to be frustrated if I look at the closed ranking/review
process, the final list that includes non-OSGEO workshops and the
fact that no consultation has taken place with workshop submitters on
possible alternatives. Just the blunt email that closes the door.

I'm sorry, but I don't have many other doors to open, and I cannot
imagine you truly expected me to find alternative arrangements for all

sorry to bung into this conversation given that neither am I
organizing, nor presenting, not even being there in person.
Nevertheless, I echo Dan's viewpoint about the relative value of 20
mins presentations vs. longer workshops. I have been a few conferences
in the lifetime, and I just can't

I've seen a lot of workshops and conferences over the years, both geo
and non-geo: tradeoffs have to be made when organizing these things, and
in the end Paul and his team will not be able to satisfy everyone.
To take just four questions off the top of my head:

All,
Why not simply have an all OSGEO conference.
No reason not to have or be a part of FOSS4G. But it sounds like there
is enough interest in having a conference with a OSGEO bent as well.

FOSS4G is presented by OSGeo, it is already an OSGeo conference. This
has the very real consequence that if the conference loses money OSGeo
loses money. They are holding the financial risk bag.

If you make it two hour workshops you can have 18 instead of 12.

Jody and others,
Thanks for all of the interesting discussion. I must admit it's hard to be
too critical of the conference committe having not volunteered to
participate on it (maybe next time?). So thank you to all who are working
on this. I also understand that any kind of review process is
