[OSGeo-Conf] participants events

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Till,
I haven't got metrics from foss4g 2009 code sprint handy, but from 
memory there were ~ 10% to 20% off conference attendees at the sprint.

What I was surprised by was that a code sprint at the end of a 
conference was not as ideal as I though it would be.
Yes, you have so many key people all in the same place at the same time, 
and you don't want to miss that opportunity.
However, by the end of a conference, everyone is tied and a bit feeling 
a bit flat, and are probably not the the best head space for a code sprint.

Cheers, Cameron
