>> @Codrina:
>> I know that you asked somebody for keynoting on "Open Data", who

>> otherwise we'd have to ask somebody else *A*S*A*P*.
>> 
>> @Marc:
>> What about a keynoter for Disaster Management *A*S*A*P*?
>> 
>> @Marc/Arnulf:
>> What is the state on "Cleaning up the webpage?
>> 
>> @Marc:
>> Status of Media Partners? What did we do to get more of them? Makes
>> sense to have them *NOW* not in two month.
>> 
>> @PR&M:
>> No reaction yet on my request to really spread the opening of
>> registration press release, but no other actions at all.
>> 
>> @Arnulf:
>> Need a short description of Wordbank-keynoter with picture ASAP (see
>> also http://foss4g2016.org/redmine/issues/294)
>> 
>> @All
>> We need a decision on how to proceed with the travel grants. I
>> personally "+1" the proposal Christoph made here:
>> https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:FOSS4G_2016_Travel_Grants
>> If no more votes come in until this evening, we adopt that.
>> 
>> @All
>> We have only 3 of 6 keynoters fixed yet. Assuming Codrina and Marc

>> You see, a lot of important things, please wake up ;-)
