[OSGeo-Discuss] Last chance before cancelling: OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (Italy)!?

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear all,
Unfortunately only 6 people have signed up for the hacking event until  
now. This means that I'll cancel the event by Thursday, unless  
suddenly at least 12 others confirm their participation :-( Too bad,  
but that's life.
Cheers,
Jeroen


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:

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

Greetings,
Jeroen
