Hi guys,
In the light of the proposed Guidelines for Organising LGM http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011 it would be great to know, as a team, if :
a) You have enough information to make a call on the proposed LGM venues for 2011? if not, what are you missing?
I think there is enough. We know Brazil has done their own LGM. Montreal has always been a success and Vietnam looks intriguing.
Personally, I will vote for Vietnam, but I have been there and I have a personal bias. :)
b) You had enough time for a round of internal discussions to see whether a significant portion of your team will make it to any of the 3 possible venues? If not, how much time would you like to have for such a round before making it a team decision?
We are doing that now!
c) You are in the end satisfied by the process? if not please give some hints on how to improve this process.
No issues there personally. It is transparent and open.
d) You are ready to make your call about the venues? if yes, please make it now, if not please tell us when, and maybe why!
Soon. By end of the week I would say.
Parallel questions: e) Do you think the guidelines are helpful? if not, are they useless? can we improve them or should we simply remove the code? f) What do you think of the bidding process? Should we keep it as it is, a one-year process? or should we make it a two-year process? And do you think again you have enough information to make a real choice? Please explain.
For another mail I think.
Thanks for getting back asap.
Louis
