[FOSS4G2016] Scheduling the conference

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hi Volker,

FOSSGIS already has a running FRAB instance, so we can ask there to use 
the same system (Dominik already offered this to me, when we decided to 
use another system for registration). We also can hand over the 
responsibility for scheduling to our "secretary", Charlotte, who will 
man the conference office. She will start on 2d of May (I am really 
looking forward to this!!!).

I'll ask Dominik and Fred, I think they worked on the FOSSGIs FRAB.
