[TOSprint] 2015 OSGeo Code Sprint in Philadelphia

[Jeff McKenna]

Robert, maybe you should send this doodle to the OSGeo Discuss list as 
well, if we really want to know when the best time for the OSGeo 
community to attend is. (hard to base a decision on when to hold the 
"OSGeo code sprint" on 9 responses)
