A quanto pare, il FOSS4G e' ufficialmente fallito. Saluti. -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: Re: [Board] Fwd: [Foss4g2012] Meeting summary of FOSS4G 2012 meeting (3rd, July) Data: Mon, 9 Jul 2012 10:54:28 -0600 Mittente: Peter Batty <pe...@ebatty.com> A: Paul Ramsey <pram...@opengeo.org> CC: bo...@lists.osgeo.org
I agree. It's a shame, but we need to face the facts and not have people booking plane tickets etc. On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 10:52 AM, Paul Ramsey <pram...@opengeo.org <mailto:pram...@opengeo.org>> wrote: Honestly, it's Not Happening. They have no organizer, it's two months to go time, there's no program, it's just no longer possible for them to put on an international FOSS4G-style event. Even a regional event would be a massive stretch. At this point WhereCamp Beijing seems like a more achievable goal. Unfortunately I know of people who put in FOSS4G Beijing as their conference request to their employers many months ago, they'll be disappointed. However, as Jeroen points out, it can get worse: they can book airline tickets and go to Beijing and find no event there. Clearly state: it's not going to happen. P.
