[OSGeo-Conf] OSGeo Booth success

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hi,

indeed, that was the first booth we've planned - so that no company had 
the chance to take it ;-)

I put it on the "2016-lessons learned" WIKI and also we might put this 
in the bid for 2018: "offer OSGeo a very prominent placed booth" ?
