[FOSS4G2016] Status

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Thanks!

Just talked to Volker, he will send the final programme of the talks 
and the AT talks by next week. We then have to bring it on the website.


BTW: Same for me: Looks like there is a senseless price discussion. I 
totally agree with all the points you brought in.
FOSS4G is a success story, so I see no need to change any basic 
elements. I totally agree, that the "cheaper" events have to be on a 
more reigonal scale...

Have a nice weekend and perhaps see Arsenal again in the champions 
league next year ...?
