The Mapbender workshop is a better fit with the GeoTools codewise

Yeah, I'm now trying to find some funding to go to the conference,
especially for flying through half-the-globe, which will consume
over 50% of the money needed

Hey,

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

If you make it two hour workshops you can have 18 instead of 12.
2 hours is more than enough IMHO.

FOSS4G is "presented by OSGeo", it is already an OSGeo conference. This

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.

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.
