[FOSS4G-UK] FOSS4G:UK 2023 Local

[Nick Bearman]

Hi Piet,

Thanks for the email. I am well thanks. No problem about the delayed 
message - I know you and Ana and colleagues are very busy with GISRUK 
planning, so I was going to pick up with you after GISRUK. I heard from 
Ant that you were interested in hosting again, which is great to hear.

We now have a confirmed date for the event - Thu 7th Sept 2023. Is this 
before term for you? It is for a number of others (which was the 
intention).

In terms of confirming your participation, we can be a bit flexible on 
this. It would be great to have an indication whether or not you could 
host in time for our next meeting (Wed 26th April 2023). It would then 
be good to have confirmed bookings etc. by end of May. I am due to put 
together an outline of times in time for the next meeting.

Thanks also for the financial support - this would be amazing :-) We 
haven't yet decided if we are doing a similar model to before with 
sponsorship, so if you have any suggestions please let us know.

We also now have an organizers email list - foss4g-uk at lists.osgeo.org 
(cc'd). I purposely have not included you on this yet (as you are busy 
with GISRUK). I can add you now if you like (& Ana and Lorna if they 
want to) or wait until after GISRUK.

I hope this helps with your planning. Let me know if you need anything 
else.

Best wishes,
Nick.
