[Foss4ga.discuss] Questions to FOSS4G-Asia 2018/2019 bidding teams
by Venkatesh Raghavan 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

Dear Rangajeewa-san, Iwasaki-san and Sanghee-san, Thanks for submitting your bids for FOSS4G-Asia 2018/2019 I send you the list of questions that the selection committee requests to be answered. The teams to which the questions are addressed is shown at the end of each question. Please go through the questions and answer in as much detail as possible. There are 16 questions in total. Please send me (venka.osgeo(a)gmail.com) a PDF containing questions and answers before 11 August, 2017 midnight (UTC). https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2017&month=8&day… I request you to kindly adhere to the above deadline for submitting your answers. 1. About how much is the expected cost for the venue (rental cost, eventually additional expenses like insurance, security, etc.)? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 2. Very often the number of local attendants is a lot higher than international visitors. How many attendants from your country do you expect (worst case and optimistic estimation)? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 3. How much would be the maximum number of attendants you could manage? Is there a minimum number of attendants, when the event would cause financial problems? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 4. Do you have a rough proposal for conference admission (ie. ticket types and costs, handling of free tickets, cost for gala dinner, etc.)? If costs are unknown yet (which is probably the case), what costs do you aim for. *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 5. Do you see difficulties with receiving Visa documents for foreign visitors? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 6. Does your venue and workshop facilities provide good access to internet, especially for foreigners, that cannot use mobile internet? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 7. Your proposal has 2 "core" days for presentations. FOSS4G Europe for example usually has 3 presentation days. For an international conference, where international visitors usually spend significant time traveling, a longer event with a larger presentation program may be more attractive. It will also allow to accept more talk submissions and thus more participation. Have you considered an additional day for presentations? Would it be possible? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 8. How many delegates from your local community participated in the last FOSS4G-Asia 2017 event *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 9. Have you already contacted some local chapters in Asia to garner their support for the event *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 10. Are you planning a special price for students and participants for low-income countries? *(-> Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka)* 11. In your proposal the main conference days are only weekdays. Do you think this will affect participation of local community members, that cannot get their employer's permission to attend the conference. *(-> Korea, Japan)* 12. Your conference dates are just two days on a weekend (Sat./Sun.). Are the university facilities only available on the weekend? Do you plan to organize another day with workshops? Weekend events can have an influence on participants sent by their employer. Do you see an issue with local business visitors to attend a weekend event? *(-> Sri Lanka)* 13. The main conference is proposed to be held on a weekend (Sat = 8th Dec/Sun = 9th Dec) with the social event on a Monday. What is the rational for having the conference over the weekend? Availability of conference room? *(-> Sri Lanka)* 14. Obviously one big concern with your bid (compared to the Korean or Japanese bid) is the quality of the available facilities for this event. You will have to convince us that the quality of your facilities is sufficient to host this event successfully. What is the current availability and speed of WiFi at the proposed location? Are there sufficient power outlets for attendees to use their laptops (-> improptu hackfest). How frequent are electric black-outs. What is the quality of the conference rooms. Could you include a few pictures of the rooms we would likely be in? How about the air conditioning in the rooms. It is my understanding that temperature around 30 degrees or sometimes even higher can be expected. *(-> Sri Lanka)* 15. Why is your document named: "(Seoul)FOSS4G_Asia_2019_Proposal.pdf"? Putting brackets into a file name is bad practice and makes me wonder whether that means we can also expect other poor choices during the conference (tiny names on badges, errors in the printed conference program, lack of power outlets, complicated WiFi registration process). *(-> Korea)* 16. Why is your document named: "FOSS4G_ASIA2017_LoI_Tsukuba.pdf"? Why 2017? You propose to host a conference in 2018. This miss-naming of the "Letter of Intent" makes me wonder whether that means we can also expect other poor choices during the conference (tiny names on badges, errors in the printed conference program, lack of power outlets, complicated WiFi registration process). *(-> Japan)* Best Venka

Re: [Foss4ga.discuss] About FOSS4G Session at Nepal Geological Congress
by Venkatesh Raghavan 01 Mar '15

Hi Rajan and All, Please plan a FOSS4G-Asia 2016 with special session for SAARC. Great to hear about training program at ECIL organized by IIITH. Regarding the NGC session, maybe 1) Introduction to FOSS4G technology and Geo4All initiative 2) FOSS4G-India Activity Report 3) FOSS4G-Sri Lanka Acticity Report 4) FOSS4G at AIT 5) Municipal GIS initiatives in India 6) ??? with 30 minutes for each presenter could be a good idea. We could also distribute the OSGeo-Live DVD [1] to participants. It would great if the special session at NGC helps to get FOSS4G activities in Nepal kickstarted. The mailing list created for FOSS4G-Asia is still usable and maybe some others have suggestions too. I forward this mail to the list too.
