[FOSS4G2016] Fwd: FOSS4G 2016: Weitere Raumabstimmung / further room plannings

I'd  rather see different kinds of tracks mixed.
To me it's a main FOSS4G target to mix different tracks and target  
audiences ("building bridges in Bonn"), instead of separating all  
these sub-ecocsystems.
I'm not seeing the advantage to have a separate acedemic track, but  
perhaps I'm overseeing the reason to do so.

Regards,

GJ
