[OSGeo-Discuss] [FOSS4G 2016] Community voting open - vote your program!

[till.adams at foss4g2016.org]

Hello Community,

as you know, the programme of a FOSS4G is mainly driven by you, our 
commmunity. So now it's time to tell us, what presentations you want to 
listen to at next global FOSS4G conference!

In total we had 289 submissions and we now please you to help us 
choosing, which presentations to accept for the programme of FOSS4G 2016 
in Bonn. The programme committee will use your aggregated scores in 
order to choose which presentations will be accepted. Also your vote is 
a good hint on assigning presentations to the appropriately sized rooms 
in our venue. So you decide who gets the opportunity to talk in the 
Plenary Chamber!

Your review and vote process is an important part of creating a 
conference programme, that reflects our community, so your vote is an 
important part of what makes a FOSS4G to such a unique event. Although 
we are happy to see everybody in Bonn building bridges, there is no need 
to attend at the conference for voting. All presentations will be 
available online after the conference, so even if you are unable to 
attend, your vote matters.

Vote your programme from now on until 11th of April here:
http://community-review.foss4g.org/
