[FOSS4G2016] A postcard for promoting the conference on print media

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Anton, all,

A reminder to check in all of your documents (logos, postcards, raw 
Illustrator files, html files, everything) into Subversion: 
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2016/

Unfortunately I see lots of logos and webpages and designs being 
created, sent around by email, but not being saved into SVN (not a 
single person has done this yet for 2016).

Doing this is a great way to archive files and also help future FOSS4G 
local committees use those files.

Ping me directly if you need write access to that SVN.
