<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.-<a href="http://24.th" target="_blank">24.th</a> of March the
FOSSGIS conference will take place in Bonn. We have 450 attendees
and with that one of the bigger events in our OSGeo-calendar.</p>
<p>We have quite some sponsors:</p>

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

<p>Thanks, Till<br>
