Portland LOC bid

[Darrell Fuhriman]

Thanks to everyone who helped on our bid!

Attached is our proposal. One quick note, the spreadsheet was drawn up in Numbers, which I realize not everyone may have access to, hence there is also an Excel version attached. However, I strongly suggest using the numbers version if you are capable – it's much easier to work with.

We look forward to seeing you all in Portland next year!

Darrell

I think we should point out that ALL of our profit goes to OSGeo, not
just $50K!!!

I was wondering about that, too. Who's getting the rest of the money?

I don't think it's roll-over to the next conference...

[Alex Mandel]

OSGeo provides the conference seed money, all net income goes back to
OSGeo. Which then gets spent on OSGeo budget items, including the next
conference. Note the conference is one of the primary incomes for OSGeo
these days and goes to servers, conference seeding, code sprint funding
and whatever else the elected board deems necessary.

Come to think of it, any particular reason pdx isn't using an @osgeo.org
mailing list?

Thanks,
Alex

I think the main reason for using a google group is that was started years ago when google groups had a lot of functionality (website, mailing list, etc) and even though google groups have lost a lot of functionality, we haven't been compelled to change it.  So I guess inertia is one of the main reasons.  We occasionally review this topic.  We also run some mailing list on our pdxosgeo.org domain. 

The PDX bid budget reflects all net income going to OSGeo and I think that everyone on the LOC is aware that it is the primary OSGeo funding source. 

Best Regards, Eli

Nice work folks, and thank you for putting in the time.  The proposal reads pretty strong.  FOSS4G Portland-style baby.  Fingers crossed.

[David Percy]

Thanks, it was a lot of work (especially for Darrel!), but we had fun with it!

I agree, I think it's very strong, and gives DC some serious competition!

we started out on google groups, and inertia has kept us there :-)
