[mapserver-dev] FOSS4G Boston Code Sprint - mapserver participation

[Jeff McKenna]

I've received some feedback on our use of OpenLayers2 in our viewers; 
I've added upgrading this embedded minimal build of OpenLayers, for 
MODE=browse&TEMPLATE=openlayers, to the code sprint goals:

There shouldn't be any wifi issues so we can patch in others through IRC this time.  For now I've specified Wednesday from 7:30pm-8:30pm, sign up at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2017_BirdsOfAFeather#Wednesday_16_August
