Added details about Geo4All BoF at [1]. Tentatively fixed the time
on 16 Sept (Wed) 2015 between 12:20-13:20 in Room 10 (50 persons
capacity).

If there is any suggestion for change of time or room, let me know.
Those attending please add your names in the wiki.

Best

Venka

>>
>> 4) Lastly, we held a post-conference 'Grant Sprint' which, in my view went very well. This was taking the idea of 'Code Sprints' like the software teams do and try and do the same thing only to work on collaborative funding efforts to support GeoForAll. We made progress on a grant proposal on the thematic group 'Smart Cities and Urban Analytics' [1] that I am leading and also discussed thre other grant proposals (one already submitted by Maria Brovelli (COST) and another by Suchith (Agri-GIS) and an early effort led by Toni that I don't remember if it had a title.
>>
>> I encourage GeoForAll people in Seoul to consider holding a similar grant sprint there if anyone on this list is considering going after funding to support our efforts.
>>
>> Venka, I think it would be helpful for you to read through these for the lightning round report so you know what happened there and pull out main issues. But if you need my help in doing this, let me know.
>>
>> Cheers and thanks for flying the GeoForAll flag at Seoul.
