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

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hi Rob,

first of all congratulations getting the SOTM to Brussels!

And thanks for your fast reply. Fred told me that you are in an 
intensive phase for the moment. Indeed we have fixed dates.

We'll start the FOSS4G 2016 week in Bonn the weekend before the 
conference, which will be 20./21. of August with Hacking Workshops and 
potentially some family program. Then we have monday/thursday 22./23. of 
August with the workshops, then from 24.-26. we have the core conference 
in WCCB and on saturday, 27.th we have the following code sprint and 
offer some field trips.

That's for now, I am open for any ideas for interaction with SOTM!

Regards, Till
