In Italy, GRASS meetings (now GFOSS meeting) have been organized
regularly since 2000. Next year it will be in Sardinia:

I would go for 3 days - it worked out well for the GeoTools community.
Three days is enough time to effect change; but not so much time you get
bogged down.
I did find timing of a sprint right after FOSS4G to be a bit of a
trouble for some (in addition to being tired ) reports this year

Last year the organization published a very nice report. That will
certainly take some time do put all the number together as nice I they
did before but I believe that it will help someone like me, who did not
attended, to have a good perspective of what we should expect for Sydney.

Yes, sorry Eric, we had to change the dates for FOSS4G2009 to 20-23
October due to clashes with venue availability.
Regarding other conferences, we have collected a list of dates for
related conferences at:

Sanghee,
I understand your question because I've had it asked from me a number of
times too, and we should ensure we have answers as part of our Marketing
Plan.
I've started building up a wiki with links to various case studies which
should be of help:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Case_Studie
I'm a little confused on the dates for FOSS4G 2009.
This page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009 says Oct 20-23
This page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Press_Release_2 says Nov 17-21
Which is correct?
Also, does anyone have dates for GeoComputation 2009 (also in Sidney)?

After attending FOSS4G last week, I wanted to share some thoughts.
As much as I'd like to be a regular attendee, I am afraid that the
