Thanks Mel<br>
<br>
OK - I'll take the prerogative and suggest a few dates in April and May. If<br>
there is some overlap with other people's availability we'll setup a Doodle<br>
poll.<br>
<br>
In parallel you may have seen Dan Cussen's invitation to consider the<br>
Dublin Hackerspace TOG as a potential venue. Dan also suggested a potential<br>
co-meeting with the OpenStreetMap Ireland people on Saturday April 23rd at<br>
TOG.<br>
<br>
Weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday)<br>
13/14 April<br>
19/20/21 April<br>
27/28 April<br>
May 3rd<br>
May 5th<br>
May 10th,12th<br>
May 17th, 19th<br>
+ Dan's suggestion of April 23rd (Saturday)<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
