[Board] geoserver code sprint

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jody,

I realize that I might not have mentioned that there is very initial 
talks of an OSGeo code sprint this coming February in Paris 
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Paris_Code_Sprint_2016).  I'm not sure if 
you would want to piggyback on that event and join it; it might make a 
lot of sense for your GeoSolutions developers to join that because of 
the location.

Olivier Courtin is organizing that sprint, just looking at budget now, 
exactly like you are now.

I am happy to support both code sprints, I just wanted to point out that 
option.
