[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

Wed Aug 28 04:17:07 UTC 2013

Personally I think it would be better to have an Indonesia specific event
this year and then next year plan a big SotM-Asia in Indonesia. It would
give us time to possibly find travel scholarships, sponsors and other
items. Versus have SotM-Asia with FOSS4G-Asia in January then hopefully
some people can go to both.

My thought with this is we could start planning a large event in Indonesia
a year ahead and that would give people plenty of time to block of the time
and attend.
