[FOSS4G2016] 7th keynote

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden (OSGeo.nl)]

Volker, Till

A few mails ago you stated that you will be offline from Thursday 
(tomorrow) until Monday, and after that you will be in an monastery in 
Bolsena ;-)
Meanwhile, we like to finalize the schedule this week;
That leaves us 3 choices:
1. Volker uses his experience to find a place for the 7th keynote today;

2. Other LOC-ers (including me) make this final reschedule this week;
That requires knowledge of how to use FRAB (is is just drag-and-drop?)

3. We wait until Volker gets back from Italy (12th of June?).
Not my favorite, since this would postpone the final schedule for 
another 2 weeks.

Do we (=LOC minus Volker) have the know-how to integrate the FRAB 
schedule in our website in the forthcomnig days?



regards,

Gert-Jan
