[TOSprint] 2018 sprint in Bonn in march 2018 - wiki page created

[Jeff McKenna]

More thoughts on how to handle the adventure/challenge: the reality is 
that companies and organizations would likely not approve funding to 
attend an "OSGeo Charter Members meeting", so that is why we are 
thinking of leveraging an existing event, one that companies and 
organizations will likely fund travel for, such as the OSGeo Code Sprint.

It seems to make the most sense, for a chance at getting many Charter 
Members together.  (exact numbers might not be great, but it gives 
charter members a good reason to try to attend, and contribute to their 
favorite OSGeo projects on the same trip)
