[OSGeo-Discuss] Sign up now: OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (Italy)!?

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear all,
Further to my earlier email (below), I have now created a WIKI page  
and filled out the possible weeks that an event could be held.

To make a final booking, I want to be sure to have at least 15 people  
that confirm their participation and an indication of at least another  
20 people that the have an interest to join. Otherwise it may end up  
being an expensive experiment from my side ;-)

You can sign up here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/OSGeo_Hacking_event

Please sign up before 8 February, after which a decision will be made.

Greetings,
Jeroen

> and large dining space. Obviously since the weather most likely  
> permits, we would eat outside overlooking the lake.
