[FOSS4G2016] open data track / cross-over at FOSS4G?

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

Hi Volker,

"the culture was a bit different". 
That's an interesting observation. Can you elaborate on that a little bit?

Regards, 

GJ

Hi Bart,

I think that's a great idea. The culture was a bit difference (at least in
2010 when I experienced it a bit), but nonetheless it would be great to
welcome the open data movement to the FOSS4G. I should probably revive my
contacts in the community (in hope they're still there).

I've noted it on my TODO list, so that this idea doesn't get lost.

Cheers,
  Volker
