2011年9月12日,北京以4票的優(yōu)勢(9:5)領(lǐng)先捷克布拉格,由OSGeo委員會投票選舉成為2012年FOSS4G大會的主辦城市。這將是FOSS4G大會首次在亞洲國家舉辦。OSGeo委員會主席Jeff McKenna在OSGeo郵件組中公布了這一消息。原信引用如下:
Hello everyone,
Sorry for such a long delay, but we finally have a clear winner through voting: Beijing, China (the final vote was 9 to 5). Congratulations to Gao Ang and their local team, Beijing will be the host for the FOSS4G 2012 event (pending approval from the OSGeo Board).
Karel, Jachym and the Prague team: it was such a close vote this year, that it shows how good your venue/team is for this event; I hope that this does not hinder your plans and energy :)
