[FOSS4G2016] FOSS4G 2016 Poster

Tue Nov 10 13:30:30 PST 2015

Volker, Anton, 

I will be at he hacking weekend in Essen as well. 
So in order to make the impossible (the "building bridges" tagline on the poster) possible, we might give it a final shot in that weekend on the shores over the Ruhr river.

Kind regards, 

GJ

Hi Gert-Jan,

> 1) it's 6 hours and 40 minutes since you posted this initial version. Please give this list some more time to have a look at it and give some comments.
No problem, I have a free day tomorrow and can wait ;-).

For the poster we used only existing logos/banners. Yes, you're right, to put the "Building bridges" or other things into the poster is much more complicated. So, we'll wait for more comments, make our thoughts afterwards and find a way to make the mission possible.

Best regards

Volker
