[FOSS4G2016] Fwd: Re: State of the Map (SOTM) 2016 in Brussels

Mon Jul 6 23:41:53 PDT 2015

Hey rob,

the weekend before is more an inofficial "come together" - there are no 
official events these days. The official program starts on monday 22dn 
with the workshops, so this seems to be the perfect date ;-)
How many attendees do you expect? In general funny thing, we would 
become problems with accommodation if goingl ateri nto september, so 
that's the reason for the early date.

If you end up begin of september, I agree, we should think, if there is 
anything we might offer.
I know that some communities sometimes started a week-lasting 
codesprint before or afterwards, so that could be s.th. we might keep in 
mind. But that's more activity on the FOSS4G side ;-)

Let's first wait until you have your definite schedule, ok?

Regards, Till
