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

[Robert Cheetham]

Thank-you for your input on the dates for the next OSGeo Code Sprint.  I've
closed the poll and it now looks like the best dates will be Feb 2 - 6 or
Feb 9 - 13.  I'm going to work on looking for hotel blocks and venue
reservations based on those two possibilities and will be back in touch as
soon as we've decided on the best fit.

Best,

Robert
