Hi All,
This is now live at
https://uk.osgeo.org/foss4guklocal2023/lessons-learned.html.
I have also updated the website to reflect that the conference is now over.
Please do have a read and make any corrections necessary / let me know
and I can correct them.
The videos are coming in in dribs and drabs and Amy is reviewing the
recorded streams. I have been in touch with individual people, so please
do reply to those emails!
Thanks everyone, and have a great weekend!
Best wishes,
Nick.
