[EU] Side event on FOSS4G 2016

[Dirk Frigne]

Hi Till,
Hi EU- local chapter list

I just had a phone call with Robin Smidth (JRC) this afternoon,
preparing the INSPIRE / OSGeo workshop on the GWF conference.

One of the idea's is to do something with the results of our OSGeo /
INSPIRE workshop on the FOSS4G event. Robin suggests to organise a sort
of side event, but I think we can do that during the code sprint, and
organise an un-conference for non-coders. Do you think this is a good
idea? The people we address on this event are people from the member
states and people from EU administrations, and bring them together with
OSGeo ambassadors, to discuss how we can benefit from each other.

I want to find out if next year, the FOSS4G-E conference can be
organised together with the INSPIRE conference, and this 'un-conference'
could be a great first step to break the ice.

This could be a first 'EU Local Chapter' event.
