<p>Dear Jody,</p>
<p>many thanks for this information! Indeed you missed one upcoming
event. <br>
</p>
<p>In parallel to the OSGeo codesprint from 21.-24.th of March the
FOSSGIS conference will take place in Bonn. We have 450 attendees
and with that one of the bigger events in our OSGeo-calendar.</p>
<p>We have quite some sponsors:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/">https://www.fossgis-konferenz.de/2018/</a> (scroll down)</p>
<p>What must we do in order to get these sponsors cross listed as
OSgeo-sponsors?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks, Till<br>
</p>
