[LGM] Formal Motion on 2018 and 2019 Venues

[Frank Trampe]

(This is the first time that we've done this on the main list rather than
the organization list, I think, so bear with me.)

LGM has received hosting proposals from Saarbruecken
<http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/wp/wp-content/uploads/formidable/xmlab_2016_LGM_2018_060616.pdf>
and Milan
<http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/wp/wp-content/uploads/formidable/LibreGraphicsConfApplication.pdf>
for the 2018 and 2019 events. Both proposals are very strong and combine
exciting locations and facilities with interested and supportive local
communities, and so I believe that it makes sense to accept both of them.
The Saarbruecken team have some significant fundraising opportunities that
may only be available for 2018, though, so it makes sense, at least to me,
that we meet in Saarbruecken in 2018 and Milan in 2019.

As such, I propose the following motion:


   - The Libre Graphics Meeting will take place in Saarbruecken in 2018
   with Soenke Zehle as lead local organizer and in Milan in 2019 with Zoe
   Romano as lead local organizer.


It's very important that we resolve this in a timely fashion so that our
hosts can begin planning, scheduling, networking, and fundraising. It's
also important that we get positive responses here; silence is not a very
reassuring form of endorsement.
