[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Review system is ready

[Volker Mische]

Hi Gert-Jan,

this is for the Program Committee members. But of course anyone from the
LOC can join (that was also the case in the past, where actually the
Program Committee was mostly LOC only).

The community vote is anonymous and will start next week.

The difference between the Program Committee review and the community
vote is, that if you're part of the Program Committee you will also take
part in the final selection and not doing a simple vote only.

Cheers,
  Volker
