Volker, some marked --> minor changes:


Accepted
--------

Dear {{proposal.speaker}},

(T) --> thank you for submitting a presentation proposal to FOSS4G 
2016.
The Program Committee has worked very hard to decide which proposals
were the best (*to*?) fit for the conference and to create an exciting 
and
engaging program for our attendees.

Your talk

{{proposal.title}}

(got) -> has been ACCEPTED.

The decision process was following the guidelines from 2014:
http://2014.foss4g.org/abstract-review-process-for-foss4g-2014/
And updated version with this year's numbers will be published soon.

(if possible to point to an actual blog-post, that'll be perfect!)

A list of all accepted talks will be published on the FOSS4G website
(on May 1st) --> soon.

If you are UNABLE to attend, please let the committee know as
soon as possible, but not later than July 1st(,) by sending an e-mail
to program at foss4g2016.org. If you are able to attend, then there
is no need to let us know.

If you haven't registered for the conference by July 1st, expect
an e-mail from us asking you about your plans. Remember, the early
bird discount ends on May 8th, so just go ahead and register now.

(Don't like the "unfortunately" here, because we never planned this)::
(Unfortunately, we are not able to offer any additional discount to
presenters.)
(However,) --> W(w)e've setup a travel grant programme --> in order to 
help people from poorer countries to attend.
Please read all the details carefully before considering an 
application:
http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html#travel-grants

Please look over your proposal at https://proposals.2016.foss4g.org/
again and review for grammar, typos, etc. This information will appear
on the website and in the printed program.

Thank you for you proposal and we looking forward to see you in Bonn.

You're awesome. Your proposal was awesome. We just couldn't accept
them all.

Come to FOSS4G! One of the best things about FOSS4G is that it
gives attendees an opportunity to see what everyone is talking
about, what's up and coming, and most of all it's inspiring! You
are guaranteed to get more ideas for talks for you to propose at
the next FOSS4G.

We also have an area called "demo theatre" where you can briefly
present your work/projects without the need to apply for it. More
information will be available on the website soon.

Thank you for you proposal and we look forward to see you in Bonn.

The FOSS4G 2016 Program Committee
