[OSGeo-Conf] Kicking off the 2016 process

[Till Adams]

Jeff,

there is a copy&paste-miss in the Pdf, see page 9 under "stage 1":

“Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing 
Committees (LOC) in regions anywhere outside of North America and 
Europe. If there are no submissions from groups in the region,
letters from any region will then be solicited. ... "

I guess you mean:

“Letters of Intent" will be accepted from potential Local Organizing 
Committees (LOC) in regions only from Europe. If there are no 
submissions from groups in the region, letters from any region will then 
be solicited. ... "


Beside that you explicitly name the FOSSGIs conferences in your list 
from page 4 but your list ends with that one in Heidelberg in 2011. 
There have been FOSSGIs conferences 2012 (20.-22.03 in Dessau), 2013 
(12.-14-6 in Rapperswil) and 2014 (19.-21.03 in Berlin) and the next one 
will take place in Münster (11.03-15.03. 2015)

just 2 penny.


Regards, Till
