[TOSprint] Proposal for Code Sprint in Daytona Beach (please vote on dates)

[Daniel Morissette]

Hello, Sprinters,

Following our recent discussions about possible venues for the 2017 Code 
Sprint, we've had some exchanges off-list with Steve Lehr to confirm the 
feasibility of the sprint in Daytona Beach since that was the option 
that seemed to trigger the most interest. (I'm writing this on behalf of 
Steve Lehr)

Well, we have some great news today! Steve has got confirmation from 
Daytona State College for a large room with great WIFI access ... The 
college is 5 minutes from DAB Airport, and walking distance to hotels 
and food, etc:

There are two dates to consider: Feb 7-11 or Feb 28-March 4 to avoid 
conflicts with the Daytona 500 Feb 26th, and Bike Week March 10-19.

Oh, in return for the use of the space the college would appreciate if 
we could organize a ~2 hours session for students and personnel on OSGeo 
technologies. With the quality of the people and projects attending the 
sprint, I'm sure filling a two hour session would not be a problem at 
all, right?

The next step would be to confirm this plan and decide on the dates. 
Let's use a Doodle open for about a week for that, and if we have enough 
confirmations of interest via the Doodle survey then Steve can go ahead 
and confirm the reservation, etc.

If you are interested in participating, then please go ahead and vote here:

And BTW, there is a draft wiki page with a few more details here. Feel 
free to add to it as you wish:

Thanks a lot to Steve for his hard work on this so far!
