[FOSS4G2016] suggestion to organize an OSGeo Hacking Event before FOSS4G 2016 in Basecamp

[Astrid Emde (FOSSGIS e.V.)]

Hello, 

we could organize an OSGeo Hacking at the weekend before the conference.
GRASS project and QGIS project are interested (I asked them in Como at
FOSS4G Europe). Maybe some FOSSGIS/OSM folks would come too.

We could block the basecamp & BONNOX for the weekend before too. Like
this the basecamp would be automatically populated by active OSGeo
people. If there are no other plans we could also provide basecamp as a
meeting point/hacking place for monday and tuesday before the
conference.

Sponsoring
We could look for a sponsoring to pay for dinks, food and maybe reduce
the price for rooms for the participants.

Basecamp
* http://www.basecamp-bonn.de/
* around 80 persons, when they share a caravan

BONNOX Nearby Hotel (on the other side of the road)
* http://www.bonnox.de/de/
* Betten?

I would like discuss this idea.

I really like the idea of the OSGeo Hacking at FOSS4G2016! So +1 from
me.

Astrid
