[EU] Side event on FOSS4G 2016

Thu Apr 28 04:23:04 PDT 2016

Dear Till,

Many thanks, I will try and help Dirk in organising a session. 

I may only be able to participate later in the week but this is yet to be confirmed.

Best regards,
Robin

Hi Till,

'TT' talk sounds good. I think it would be a great opportunity to discuss how OSGeo software matches the needs of the INSPIRE directive and where improvements could be suggested. A 'TT' could be the right format to organise this.
I'd like to organise both, the un-conference and the TT and I will ask Robin (in cc) if he could help me organising.
