[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi all,

Sorry for the silence. I always wanted to reply and then I lost sight of
this thread.
I think one "lesson learned" from this year is: first set the rules how to
make a decision, then ask for venue proposals ;-)

Anyway, if I understood it right, then both, Indonesia and Thailand will
have an event anyway.
My first thought was several weeks ago when the discussion started, how
great would it be to have SotM and FOSS4G Asia at one place. But maybe this
was the point of view from a person, who doesn't live in any of these
countries.

Now I would tend to say: let's have both. Likely many attendants from
Thailand won't be able to make it to Indonesia and the other way round.
Those few Japanese (just example), who can't travel to both events, but
would like to attend both, might be rather small.
So my idea would be to make Bogor the 2013 SotM Asia location and Bangkok
will be FOSS4G Asia anyway and they can still run an OSM track. So then
both events have a prominent name, SotM in Bogor can advertise FOSS4G a
month or two later, and I would say nobody would think then preparing the
proposal was a waste of time.

Does this sound like a fair compromise?
Not sure voting here would help too much ... maybe just to get a couple of
new ML subscribers ;-)

Daniel
