[EU] Side event on FOSS4G 2016

Thu Apr 28 09:43:00 PDT 2016

Hi Till,

I am likely to be needed in the office on the Monday until late afternoon and I was thinking that some interaction with different types of conference participant could be interesting.

I will be out of office for a couple of weeks but be in touch with Dirk on my return.

Best regards,
Robin

Hi Robin,

sounds good. What do you mean with "later in the week" ? You mean the conference week? We can put that TT on friday, if that fits better to you?

Regarding the un-conference this may not help at all. If you consider the "IHK" Building, please tell me ASAP, as I have to ask for te rooms again.
