Talk:OSGeo Code Sprint 2018

= Mail to participants = Hello to all OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 participants,

You have already added your name to our wiki page [1] and want to join the OSGeo Code Sprint 2018 in Bonn in March in one week, great! We are looking forward to see you soon. Here are some more details as the event approaches:

Directions
You can find information on how to get to BaseCamp on the wiki page [2].

Accommodation
We hope you have booked a room on your own, as the code sprint does not cover accommodation. Please see the "Accommodations" section of the wiki page for ideas.

Projects
If you plan to work on a project please add your plan to the wiki [3], so other participants can get an overview on the things that are going on and may join.

Social Events
We organized some social events for you [4]. *IMPORTANT*: If you would like to join the Party at FOSSGIS Conference on Wednesday evening (we invite you) please add the information to the wiki table (new column in the table). We need the information soon.

OSGeo Member Meeting
Please note that there will be an OSGeo Member Meeting [5] on the evening of Monday 19th in BaseCamp. We would like to have an open discussion on OSGeo topics for about 2 hours.

Marketing Materials
We also plan to provide OSGeo marketing material, so-called "Exhibition Packs", ready for you to take to your country. So please if possible leave some space in your suitcase empty to take some material back home. If you can take material home please add your name and needs to the table to make calculation easier [6].

If you have any questions or need help please let us now and send a mail to codesprint@osgeo.org.

We have 9 great sponsors [7], that will support our event. That's great! Thanks to all of them.

See you at the OSGeo Code Sprint and have a safe journey to Bonn.
