[OSGeo-Discuss] Geospatial devroom at FOSDEM 2017 on Sunday 5/2/2017 in Brussels

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Hi all,

This is a gentle reminder for the call for participation for the
geospatial devroom at FOSDEM.
For those of you who don't know FOSDEM, it is one of the biggest open
source conferences, and a highly developer oriented one. Next to the
geospatial devroom there will be lots of other talks in the main
tracks and devrooms [1].
I'm sure it is also interesting for everyone active in OSGeo - so go
ahead and submit :-)

Hope to see many of you in Brussels
Johan
