[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo is supporting the Geospatial World Forum - opportunity for OSGeo advocates

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hi Dirk,

as we just discussed via Skype. I am happy to contribute with an 
invitation to FOSs4g 2016 in Bonn. I also could talk a little about our 
ideas, our focus and stuff like this. As i'll be there anyhow, you mgith 
count me in for other activities as well, in case just drop me a note 
early enough, so that I have time to prepare.
