<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi all: Just a quick note to let folks know that planning is underway to host a community/code sprint in Minneapolis in May of 2019 – specifically from May 14th to the 17th. The location will be the Wilson Research Collaboration Studio
on the campus of the University of Minnesota. More information can be found at:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">As with previous sprints this represents a great opportunity to get distributed project teams together, to collaborate across projects and to have a lot of fun. The event is still five months out and what we need now more than anything
is an idea of how many sprinters we might expect. There’s a spot on the wiki page to add yourself and note the likelihood of attending.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">These events are not possible without the generous support of sponsors, and a number of organizations have already stepped up. We really appreciate their support of free and open source software and OSGeo in particular. They are:<o:p></o:p></p>
