[Qgis-developer] Next Hackfest Location

Fri Oct 12 02:09:50 PDT 2012

Hi All,

so the best dates from our side:
a) 11-14 April - it's +/- typical hackfest time;
b) 2 - 5 May - because holiday week in Latavia, typically already nice 
weather;
c) 9 - 12 May - alternative for option b + someone who stays longer has 
an additional option to promote QuantumGIS :)

If these dates are OK we can make some Doodle, to decide.

Best,
