It is a good idea to expose more universities to QGIS. After all it is

Maybe we could also invite the geographers or other
university</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> institutions (which I
still know from my university time in Vienna)
to</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>> join a QGIS presentation as

<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '> Perhaps you could run a

I</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>know a good set of source materials

<br>
<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '> I'd like to suggest
Lancaster University as a location for a
hackfest</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>in the future. Cheap

flights</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>from the US to Manchester

<div class="Normal"><span style='font-size: 10pt; '> I have been wondering if
'Hackfest' is the right name. Clearly
'code</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>sprint' is wrong since there's
other things to do apart from

in 'Hackfest' is quite right. How
does</span><br><span style='font-size: 10pt; '>"QGis Development Days", or 'Dev
