Excellent!  Having most info on the OSGeo wiki also makes it easier for
future FOSS4G local committees to learn from you.

Also a little reminder, for every new page that you create on the wiki
be sure to paste this text at the bottom of every page (so your page can
be found and automagically listed with all other FOSS4G2016 pages):

   [[Category:FOSS4G2016]]

I would like an account on the internal wiki also.

aha! I added the missing category to your meetings page (so that your
meetings page is automagically listed at
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:FOSS4G2016).

Also, I'd like to make a request to the entire 2016 local committee to
please please consider storing all copies of files (logos, text
documents, sponsor documents, raw designer files for logos, website
files, everything) in SVN at http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/2016/

If you go up a directory, you can see that we/I archive files all the
way back to 2003 for FOSS4G events, and each year a new FOSS4G local
committee member thanks me for this (it's great to find a logo or
document).   However you can also notice that not every local committee
listens to my request (so some years are empty).  Let's raise the bar
for 2016!

If you need write permission for this SVN instance just let me know
(I'll need your OSGeo user ID: http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid).

Thanks,

-jeff
