<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I would also like to propose that we consider expanding the scope by inviting both OSGeo and the Eclipse Foundation's <a href="http://www.locationtech.org/" target="_blank">LocationTech</a> projects (JTS, uDig, GeoTrellis, GeoMesa, Geogig, GeoJini, etc.).  There are several developers that work on both OSGeo and LocationTech projects, and we think this would be an opportunity for people to work together.  That said, this would also likely require a larger venue and there are likely other considerations before pursuing this idea.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm interested in your feedback. Â I'd like to potentially book a block of hotel rooms as well as settle on some dates.</div>
