[FOSS4G2016] SVN

Thu Jul 9 04:42:07 PDT 2015

Thanks Till!  Future FOSS4G local committees will really appreciate 
this.  https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2016/

I'd also like to see the website files checked in there as well.  What 
I've seen work well with past committees, is that on the live website 
server, that "website" folder is checked out there (so the live site is 
driven off of SVN).
