Hi,
I take the 11th/12th to be the final date now so I re-added myself and 
will be coming on the 10th or 11th (still working out whether to take 
the 19h or 32h schedule)-:

If anybody thinks that it would make sense for me to stay for Where 2.0 
please tell me. The 15th is a holiday in Germany so I would just miss 
one work day if I stay for the rest of the week. This would make the 
flight a little more worthwhile (I hate to inject waste into the 
stratosphere directly).

If some people from VisCom would be there I could imagine that we 
continue to walk a little after the weekend/Monday sprint, same for 
InCom (we are overdue with respect to Franks keen dates) . If this is 
unrealistic because Where 2.0 attendance eats up everybody this would 
not make too much sense, so I'll appreciate some feedback asap to be 
able to get an affordable flight.

Is there any chance of OSGeo funding some of the expenses? If it is 
limited I will gladly step back for financially more restricted 
attendants, but I think it would be important to address this topic as 
it will give those a chance who else would not be able to come at all.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
