[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Review system is ready

[Volker Mische]

Hi Program-Committee,

this is just a reminder that you should do review as many proposals as
possible, so that the discussions about which we accept/don't accept are
quicker, as you'll still remember them.

Cheers,
  Volker

PS: Don't feel bad, I also have reviewed only 1/4 so far :)
