[EU] Side event on FOSS4G 2016

Thu Apr 28 04:42:01 PDT 2016

Hi Robin,

sounds good. What do you mean with "later in the week" ? You mean the 
conference week? We can put that TT on friday, if that fits better to 
you?

Regarding the un-conference this may not help at all. If you consider 
the "IHK" Building, please tell me ASAP, as I have to ask for te rooms 
again.
