    <p>Hi Heikki, Seth,<br>
    </p>
    <p>Firstly, apologies for the late reply to your email. I fully
      agree that we should try to aim for a weekend event co-hosted with
      OSM Ireland.  @Heikki - you mentioned that a non-summer event
      would be preferable, but would you consider late May? Once we
      agree on a date and (possible) location(s), we can proceed with
      the planning.</p>
    <p>Let us know your thoughts. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Best regards,</p>
    <p>Daniel.<br>
