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)*
I've been renaming proposals for FOSS4G-global for 10 years (removing spaces, special characters, etc) and then uploading them to the OSGeo site where the committee can then download them, and I place the blame on myself for FOSS4G-Asia here for not renaming them all to the same structure before uploading Sri Lanka, Korea, Japan to the 2018/2019 wiki page. Although file naming is also a big thing with me (think layer names in OGC web services, breaking clients downstream) most don't pay attention unfortunately, and most of the MOST successful FOSS4G-global events were in fact hosted by local committees who submitted proposals with spaces, special characters in filenames, bad formatting that I fixed, etc, so we should not hold this against any local committee (who are often rushed to meet the proposal deadline).
