[Ireland] OSGeo Ireland 2020 Event Options

Fri Mar 6 01:06:01 PST 2020

Hi All

Apologies for not responding sooner - gmail had decided to put the last
emails from the forum in my spam folder!!!

I agree with what has been said so far in relation to an event this year. I
guess we need to meet perhaps to discuss a location and date etc.

*Regards*
