FOSS4G 2016 Call for Participation in the Program Committee

Hi all,

this is the Call for Participation in the Program Committee. In case
you want to be part of the selection process for the talks of the
FOSS4G 2016, this is your chance now. It's as easy as to reply to
this email and let me know that you want to take part.

Here's how it works. During the community voting phase (beginning of
April) you'll also vote on the submitted abstracts of the talks. Once
both votings are done, we'll do the selection process. There will be
three weeks for the process with the current deadline of May 1st.
During those three weeks also the speakers will be notified if their
talk got accepted, rejected or if they are on the waiting list.

The selection process will follow the same steps as in 2014 [1]. This
means that you would need to have time in April to read through the
abstracts as well some time where we do the actual selection. I would
expect to have 2-3 video conference meetings that will last for about
3-4 hours.
