[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Call for Presentations draft

[Codrina Maria Ilie]

Hi Volker, all,

Great for making the wheel spin!

Here are my 2c:

1. We need to change 2015 with 2016 :)

2. Are this year's topics established? I am sorry to have missed that. 
:(  I think that when sending out the call for papers it is essential 
that we consider (write about) the "side tracks" such as the open data 
or remote sensing, if, in the end that will be the case. I am talking 
here of explicitly pointing out our openness towards whatever other 
adjacent communities we choose to engage with and let that be heard. We 
did say we are building bridges, right? :) I can see that the academic 
track is sided completely. Is that the way it has been always done? I 
know it is traditionally separated, but even in the very first 
announcement?

I am thinking that maybe, this year, we could change the format of our 
call for papers, just a little bit, considering that, as you said, 
usually it is the same. All the information, of course, will be 
delivered, but maybe in a softer way.

What say you?

Cheers,
Codrina
