[TOSprint] geoserver code sprint

[Jody Garnett]

Just an update, we are all set for next week - sponsorship has met our
budget that is great, and we have enough local community support to keep
costs down for those attending.

As you can see on the above wiki page we took the slightly unusual step of
listing OSGeo as a sponsor explicitly (since the board pledged their
support).
