We will now of course extend the deadline, and encourage bidding from all regions of the globe (before the initial deadline, we were hoping for bids from places other than North America or Europe...however now we will open the bidding up to those areas as well). I hope this extension will let those potential teams that were already considering, to offer their interest in hosting this wonderful event in their location. Updated important dates: * Letters of Intent (Stage 1) due: 2011-07-08 (23:00 UTC) * Stage 1 question period: 2011-07-08 to 2011-07-15 * Stage 1 decision: 2011-07-15 * Proposals (Stage 2) due: 2011-08-01 (23:00 UTC) * Stage 2 question period: 2011-08-01 to 2011-08-05 * Final decision: 2011-08-05 RFP home: http://www.osgeo.org/conference/rfp/ RFP document: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/rfp/2012/osgeo-conference-2012-request-for-proposal.pdf Questions? jump on the conference_dev mailing list (subscribe at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/conference_dev) and ask :) Thank you everyone.
