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

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks Robert,

I am at the OGC meeting in calgary and was just encouraging the CITE team
to attend. As OSGeo is providing several reference implementations it would
be good to have a bit more interaction with the OGC in our comfort zone
(i.e. a code sprint).
