[Qgis-developer] Next Hackfest Location

Tue May 15 02:03:46 PDT 2012

Hi,

we discussed the hackfest on the PSC list and we decided to take the Linux
Hotel opportunity in Essen, Germany while it is available this autumn.  

Pēteris, your proposal looks good and we hope for your hospitality for the
first QGIS meeting of next year again.

Kind Regards
Otto
