[TOSprint] 2015 OSGeo Code Sprint in Philadelphia - re-opening poll for dates

[Robert Cheetham]

OSGeo Sprinters,

I had announced yesterday that the code sprint would be held Mar 2 - 6,
based on the previously published Doodle poll.  However, some folks noted
that the FOSS4G-NA conference is now scheduled for the following week (Mar
9 - 13).

For some people, this might be an opportunity to make a single, longer trip
to the US and reduce travel time and costs.  For others, this may be a
hardship to be away from family or work for an extended period.

As a result, I'm going to re-open the poll for dates.  If you've already
voted, you may want to consider revising your response.  If you haven't
already voted, now is the time to get your opinion registered.  I'll keep
this open until Fri, Sept 26.

Thanks,

Robert
