[Southeast-US] FOSS4GNA 2016

[Randal Hale]

I sent this to the NCGIS list this morning and it will be making some 
appearances in TN also: Please vote - it's almost in Raleigh
*******************************************************************************************************************************

Ladies and Gentleman - Thank you for your voice. It's now down to 
Raleigh and Philadelphia (both cities knocked Austin and DC off the 
list). As another measure the committee has started a Google 
form:http://bitly.com/F4GNA2016 - Please Vote.

You can still make your voice heard via the Google Group: 
foss4gna_selection at googlegroups.com 
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/foss4gna_selection). I would 
still encourage you to send emails there as well. Last week, phone 
calls, emails, and noise was made from the NC Governor's office down to 
the the people who move vertices in a polygon in support of the 
conference. It's an excellent event - I've enjoyed every one in which 
I've participated. It will be that much better on this side of the 
continent and south of Philadelphia though.

The amount of email and communication impressed all who were making a 
decision - so much we've entered the final "battle royale".

Thanks for your help - if this happens it's because of what you have 
said and done in support of Raleigh,

Keep fighting,
Randy
