== FOSS4G 2017 Lessons Learned  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Boston Team was thrilled to welcome the global OSGeo community and other interested parties to Boston in 2017. And we were extremely proud to set the attendance record of 1,150 people while also delivering strong financial performance with a surplus of over $115,000 returned to OSGeo, above and beyond full repayment of the advance that was provided to our Boston Local Organizing Committee (BLOC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We benefited greatly from the guidance of past Chairpersons, and we look forward to sharing our lessons learned through this page. Our plan is to use a slightly different approach than some of the other material found on this Wiki. Indeed, we performed a lot of documentation and data collection ''in the process'' of producing the conference. As such, a good deal of the material we present will be links to shared Google documents and spreadsheets, with brief introductions and links presented on this page. And of course, we remain available to, and look forward to providing direct guidance to future conference teams beginning with Dar es Salaam and Bucharest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will be a work in progress over the coming weeks.&lt;br /&gt;

We hosted a logo contest to pick our FOSS4G Boston 2017 logo. The design criteria can be found [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017/Logo_Contest here]. The BLOC voted on their favorite design based on [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017/Logo_Entries these entries], which is how we ended up with our beloved logo above.&lt;br /&gt;

Our Call for Presentations '''opened on February 3, 2017''' with a final abstract '''submission deadline of March 21, 2017'''.

We were pleased that this promotion was successful and by the deadline we had received '''411 abstracts''' and thus did not have a need to extend our deadline.&lt;br /&gt;

The Program Committee, Chaired by Andy Anderson, led the paper review and selection process.

===== ''Harpoon Brewery Welcome Social'' =====&lt;br /&gt;
As our attendance numbers grew, we began to realize that we would exceed building capacity for the Harpoon Brewery. For this reason we limited the event to those who signed up for Early Bird (this also helped raise our Early Bird registrant numbers). After making this constraint and looking at our numbers, we noticed that we were still above building capacity. This is when we decided to create an Academic event, for those who wanted to connect with other academics and who would prefer this event over the Harpoon Brewery. We also split the Harpoon event into two time slots and gave the academics a choice to do both events. By doing so, we were able to accommodate all of the Early Bird registrants at this event.&lt;br /&gt;

== FOSS4G 2017 Lessons Learned  ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Boston Team was thrilled to welcome the global OSGeo community and other interested parties to Boston in 2017. And we were extremely proud to set the attendance record of 1,150 people while also delivering strong financial performance with a surplus of over $115,000 returned to OSGeo, above and beyond full repayment of the advance that was provided to our Boston Local Organizing Committee (BLOC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We benefited greatly from the guidance of past Chairpersons, and we look forward to sharing our lessons learned through this page. Our plan is to use a slightly different approach than some of the other material found on this Wiki. Indeed, we performed a lot of documentation and data collection ''in the process'' of producing the conference. As such, a good deal of the material we present will be links to shared Google documents and spreadsheets, with brief introductions and links presented on this page. And of course, we remain available to, and look forward to providing direct guidance to future conference teams beginning with Dar es Salaam and Bucharest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will be a work in progress over the coming weeks.&lt;br /&gt;

We hosted a logo contest to pick our FOSS4G Boston 2017 logo. The design criteria can be found [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017/Logo_Contest here]. The BLOC voted on their favorite design based on [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017/Logo_Entries these entries], which is how we ended up with our beloved logo above.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Boston Team was thrilled to welcome the global OSGeo community and other interested parties to Boston in 2017. And we were extremely proud to set the attendance record of 1,150 people while also delivering strong financial performance with a surplus of over $115,000 returned to OSGeo, above and beyond full repayment of the advance that was provided to our Boston Local Organizing Committee (BLOC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We benefited greatly from the guidance of past Chairpersons, and we look forward to sharing our lessons learned through this page. Our plan is to use a slightly different approach than some of the other material found on this Wiki. Indeed, we performed a lot of documentation and data collection ''in the process'' of producing the conference. As such, a good deal of the material we present will be links to shared Google documents and spreadsheets, with brief introductions and links presented on this page. And of course, we remain available to, and look forward to providing direct guidance to future conference teams beginning with Dar es Salaam and Bucharest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This will be a work in progress over the coming weeks.&lt;br /&gt;

== Birds Of A Feather (BoF) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BoF sessions are informal gatherings of people around a specific topic. BoF's can be held in BoF rooms, the BoF lounge, or can be taken off site for lunch or dinner. FOSS4G will provide space, but the programming of events should be done informally through the community using the wiki and the on site BoF board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BoF sessions rooms will be available through regular session times. There Are two rooms setup theater style without AV that are available. There will also be a lounge available on the trade floor to gather small groups. We will put a BoF organizing board next to the lounge for on site organization.&lt;br /&gt;
