<div dir="ltr">g’day aust-NZ OSgeo folks,<div><br></div><div>If you’re around Canberra on 26 April (this coming Thursday), join Edoardo Neerhut (Mapillary) and myself for #geobeerCBR - we’ll meet at the Wig n' Pen, at 6pm: <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/J7fLu1SD98D2">https://goo.gl/maps/J7fLu1SD98D2</a></div><div><br></div><div>I look like this: <a href="https://www.spatialised.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/thredbo_river_selfie.jpg?w=1480">https://www.spatialised.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/thredbo_river_selfie.jpg?w=1480</a> - and will wear my orange beanie unless it gets way too warm (unlikely, it’s Canberra…) or stick it on a table number post or something.</div><div><br></div><div>No formal discussion or agenda - it’s a social meet n greet with discussion about things geospatial if that’s how it rolls. Or geopolitics, or how many awesome flowers are blooming on the day, or which bicycle grease you prefer for Canberra winters.... You don’t even have to like beer!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 April 2018 at 21:21, Cameron Shorter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cameron.shorter@gmail.com" target="_blank">cameron.shorter@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
