[FOSS4G2016] Volunteer for FOSS4G2016

[Hinrich Paulsen]

Dear list,

am standing by to get going but would love to team up with somebody
since I feel that a lot of work is headed my way. So, quite unselfishly,
;-) I can only reinforce Tills call for participation.

Best regards,

Hinrich

> Government can sponsor the event only when they have specific
