[Ireland] OSGeo Ireland 2020 Event Options

[Daniel McInerney]

Hi Heikki, Seth,

Firstly, apologies for the late reply to your email. I fully agree that
we should try to aim for a weekend event co-hosted with OSM Ireland. 
@Heikki - you mentioned that a non-summer event would be preferable, but
would you consider late May? Once we agree on a date and (possible)
location(s), we can proceed with the planning.

Let us know your thoughts.

Best regards,

Daniel.
