[FOSS4G2016] IRC Chat Today

Thu Dec 17 06:06:42 PST 2015

Hi LOC,

Meanwhile that thread has been stripped from its paranoia and other 
fuzz.
Read the most recent post by Maxi (who also started the thread):
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-December/015454.html

Whether or not you agreee with Maxi, at least this recent post sums it 
up cleary,
and I think it is good to have a common LOC-sense about what we
a) regard tools such as Mailchimp valuable and
b) regards mailing lists that have been compiled for other FOSS4G's (and 
related events) as usable for FOSS4G 2016.

If wanted we can differentiate in these tools to attract:
a) sponsors and
b) attendees

Regards,

Gert-Jan
