Subject: 2012 Next Step: Full Proposal and Budget
Background
----------
Thank you to all of the 4 teams for submitting excellent letters of
intent to host FOSS4G. I can tell through private discussions that each
OSGeo Conference Committee member took this decision very seriously.
Stage 1 Results
---------------
The teams/letters who received 2 or more votes from committee members
are: Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague. Unfortunately the team from Rome will
not move onto the next stage. I do hope that the Rome local committee
does come back in a future bid, as there is clearly an extremely active
local community there in Italy (I attended the WebMGS event in Como last
August, so I know first-hand).
Stage 2
-------
Beijing, Hanoi, and Prague local committees must now begin work on their
full proposals and proposed budget. The due dates listed in the RFP are
for 2011-08-01, but that obviously is too soon for a full proposal. So
we will change that to one month from today, 2011-08-21. (the idea is
to make sure there is enough time to produce a full proposal and budget,
yet at the same time give enough time for the winning team to plan to
send someone to Denver, or at least produce an invitation video: a short
10 minute slot is scheduled in the Denver closing plenary for the
winning team to present its invitation

I have updated the RFP with these new dates
(
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-for-proposal.pdf):Proposals & Budget (Stage 2) due: 2011-08-21 (23:00 UTC)
Stage 2 question period: 2011-08-21 to 2011-08-26
Final decision: 2011-08-26
Thank you everyone.
