    <p>Dear Jody,</p>
    <p>many thanks for this information! Indeed you missed one upcoming
      event. <br>
    </p>
    <p>In parallel to the OSGeo codesprint from 21.-24.th of March the
      FOSSGIS conference will take place in Bonn. We have 450 attendees

    <p>What must we do in order to get these sponsors cross listed as
      OSgeo-sponsors?</p>
