[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2016 Call for Hosting

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Claude,

Thanks for keeping the community informed of your plans.  We will hope 
to receive a Letter of Intent from you by the deadline of 9 January.  We 
will never forget the passion that you showed the FOSS4G world back in 
2006 in Lausanne.
