*[[FOSS4G 2011 Call for Presentations]]
*Upcoming items: issue call for papers, Feb 1. Will need suitable verbiage on our focus areas as well as web forms etc. Also do we want to ask for submissions for multiple formats, e.g. 5 minute presentations in addition to longer format ones? Panels? One idea from a recent UK conference I attended is to have 5 minute "georants" on more informal / fun / contentious topics in a bar one evening.
*Answer the following question from Adrian Custer on the mailing list:
<blockquote>Some questions below about whether you have settled on an explicit focus for your conference. It seems your choices during your organization work will invariably influence the nature of this conference as mainly either a gathering of free software hackers for fun and cooperation or as a platform for those of us vending our software projects. I wonder how much thinking and conscious decision making you have made on this issue. (''My high level answer: we aim to address needs of both groups'') </blockquote><blockquote>Will there be any limits on talks from the same organization, from the same vendor, or from members of the organizing and selection committees? In particular, how does this work in that sponsors at the $most_precious_metal sponsorship level are already guaranteed one slot? (''My suggestion, let's dioscuss: not hard pre-defined limits but we will review number of papers accepted per company before finalizing the program and may make adjustments if we feel it is appropriate''). </blockquote><blockquote>Does anyone know what the policy has been (if any) in previous years? Also, are talk proposals once again going to be submitted to a popularity vote? In my analysis, that resulted in getting many talks from the well known projects and well known personalities rather than getting a wide distribution of talks favouring the, possibly whacky, smaller projects. All are interesting, of course, but lead to a different flavour for the gathering so I am wondering what you are hoping to produce. (''Yes we plan to do a vote but intend for the final program to be a mix of papers selected by the vote and papers selected by the organizing committee''). </blockquote>
*Keynote speakers ... are we planning to get any "external" keynote speakers (people outside those we would expect to submit abstracts)? If so need to start on getting those identified and signed up now. Examples might include well known figures from the broader open source world, maybe some to address the "open data" theme. Steve Coast would be one candidate there. I might be able to get John Hickenlooper, the Colorado Governor, to do a short welcome address - he is a good speaker and has some geo background. On the open data theme, Tim Berners Lee might be a good if ambitious choice to pursue ... he has been widely credited with pressuring get the UK government to open up its data, including geospatial data. He's known to be a fan of OpenStreetMap too.

'''Abstract submission form almost ready to go live.  Tyler M. to add acaddemic track.  In addition to an auto email to submitter, James S. to receive a copy of the acknowledgement email.'''

== Registration / Pricing (Tyler Mitchell) ==

*Does proposed 2011 pricing need adjustment? Current proposal is $499 for early and $649 for late.
*Need to establish policies for any discounted registration categories (students??), policy for comp registrations, etc (not today but reasonably soon)

'''To be posted by end of this week.'''

== Social Events (Peter / other volunteers?) ==

'''Henry to discuss with Pete.  Right now, three networking social events planned - Tuesday - Wynkoop.  Wednesday - Exhibit Hall and Thursday - gala event.'''

*[[FOSS4G 2011 Call for Presentations]]
*Upcoming items: issue call for papers, Feb 1. Will need suitable verbiage on our focus areas as well as web forms etc. Also do we want to ask for submissions for multiple formats, e.g. 5 minute presentations in addition to longer format ones? Panels? One idea from a recent UK conference I attended is to have 5 minute "georants" on more informal / fun / contentious topics in a bar one evening.
*Answer the following question from Adrian Custer on the mailing list:
<blockquote>Some questions below about whether you have settled on an explicit focus for your conference. It seems your choices during your organization work will invariably influence the nature of this conference as mainly either a gathering of free software hackers for fun and cooperation or as a platform for those of us vending our software projects. I wonder how much thinking and conscious decision making you have made on this issue. (''My high level answer: we aim to address needs of both groups'') </blockquote><blockquote>Will there be any limits on talks from the same organization, from the same vendor, or from members of the organizing and selection committees? In particular, how does this work in that sponsors at the $most_precious_metal sponsorship level are already guaranteed one slot? (''My suggestion, let's dioscuss: not hard pre-defined limits but we will review number of papers accepted per company before finalizing the program and may make adjustments if we feel it is appropriate''). </blockquote><blockquote>Does anyone know what the policy has been (if any) in previous years? Also, are talk proposals once again going to be submitted to a popularity vote? In my analysis, that resulted in getting many talks from the well known projects and well known personalities rather than getting a wide distribution of talks favouring the, possibly whacky, smaller projects. All are interesting, of course, but lead to a different flavour for the gathering so I am wondering what you are hoping to produce. (''Yes we plan to do a vote but intend for the final program to be a mix of papers selected by the vote and papers selected by the organizing committee''). </blockquote>
*Keynote speakers ... are we planning to get any "external" keynote speakers (people outside those we would expect to submit abstracts)? If so need to start on getting those identified and signed up now. Examples might include well known figures from the broader open source world, maybe some to address the "open data" theme. Steve Coast would be one candidate there. I might be able to get John Hickenlooper, the Colorado Governor, to do a short welcome address - he is a good speaker and has some geo background. On the open data theme, Tim Berners Lee might be a good if ambitious choice to pursue ... he has been widely credited with pressuring get the UK government to open up its data, including geospatial data. He's known to be a fan of OpenStreetMap too.

'''Some discussion about topics, which James commented hadn't changed in the past few years. We agreed it was okay to mix these up a bit. We need to add open data as a topic, and explain a bit more about what we're looking for there.'''

== Registration / Pricing (Tyler Mitchell) ==

*Does proposed 2011 pricing need adjustment? Current proposal is $499 for early and $649 for late.
*Need to establish policies for any discounted registration categories (students??), policy for comp registrations, etc (not today but reasonably soon)

'''Peter, Tyler and Henry will follow up on that.'''

It attracts the best Open Source geospatial software projects and their developers making it the ''gathering of the tribes''. FOSS4G addresses the needs of users and developers alike and this year intends to also bridge the gap between the suits and the geeks by explaining how the business models can be used to address the needs of small and large organizations alike.

== Please add your comments here! ==

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOW GETTING A LOGO MADE AT CROWDSPRING

From Peter: Personally I like the idea of something that is similar to the Sydney and Cape Town logos, which incorporate the ribbon as a more central theme, and depict the Rocky Mountains across the top. You can see these logos [[http://foss4g.org/static/index.html here]]. The GITA design is along these lines, but personally I'd like to see a few more options on that idea, perhaps from Steve's designer to get some variety. I like the Sydney logo best, I prefer its simplicity and would vote for something similar in terms of the text.

I think we also need to consider how the logo appears to an international audience. For example the Colorado license plate is a nice looking logo in many ways, but probably its significance wouldn't be too obvious to people who aren't from here. Some of the others may fall into that category too (don't know whether the Interstate one is included in that or not?)

== OSgeo Ribbon ==
[[Image:OSGeo-Ribbon.jpg|thumb|center|alt=OSgeo Ribbon|OSgeo Ribbon.]]
'''Note:''' The final logos must have the OSgeo Ribbon integrated
FROM RAFAEL: I like the most the CONCEPT-COLORADO logo. I would suggest to change the font color to red-yellow to match the Colorado logo. Also to switch to all caps FOSS4G.
