[OSGeo-Discuss] 2015 OSGeo Code Sprint in Philadelphia - let us know when

[Robert Cheetham]

Thank-you all for your input on the Doodle poll regarding the proposed 2015
OSGeo code sprint <http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Code_Sprint_2015>.
 Based on the input from the Doodle poll, we have decided on Mar 2 - 6.  As
details develop, I'll post on the ToSprint list and the wiki page
<http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Code_Sprint_2015>.

It was great talking to many of you at last week's FOSS4G in Portland.
We'll be aiming to build on past successful code sprints and create an
event that will support some great feature and project improvements.

Best,

Robert
