[Sotm-asia] Where will it be?

Wed Aug 28 05:10:25 UTC 2013

Hi Kate,

This is an interesting aspect, though I felt Alex was super motivated
already planning to make this year a big event ;-)

Since I believe that for FOSS4G a parallel SotM Asia track would be better
than in a row (otherwise the whole event becomes too long), it should be
not too much extra work for the Bangkok team to make a joined event.

I think a consensus this year without having to vote would be the best.
Like Maning already said, that 2013 would be a bit early and he would
prefer 2014, so there would be more time for planning. If you think it's
the same case in Indonesia, then maybe the local community can discuss this
internally.
