The foss4g brand has world wide recognition and is being used as great
outreach tool for several organizations (often based on the region). As an
organization we do not own the brand, and have obtained permission to use
it (as the polite thing to do).

Hi,
Another reason *not* to change the name: if it is called the OSGeo
conference, non-OSGeo software or companies will feel rejected and don't
want to come. I find it very refresh to be able to discuss non-OSGeo but
FOSS4G things in this kind of conferences.

Actually from an international point of view - and as OSGeo grows - I would
think that the 4 in FOSS4G raises more questions than answers since the
number 4 and the word "for" are only homonyms in English as far as I know.

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I will bring some fuel -

It would strengthen the brand of OSGEO with a conference named the same.

Hi Barry,
No, please no!! FOSS4G is easy to pronounce in several languages, includes
the word Free and is the name of the conference. OsGeo is ¿"just"? the
organization behind it.
I think it will make even more sense to change OSGeo to FOSGeo.

I'm actually a +1 for this. Changing to "The OSGeo Conference" would
give the description right on the tin and ensure that OSGeo remains
more actively relevant in the minds of members and newbies approaching
the organization.
