[Qgis-developer] Next Hackfest Location

Mon Oct 15 06:30:43 PDT 2012

Thanks Pēteris,

looks good! :) I added a link to Upcoming Events on qgis.org and the Doodle
link to the wiki page as well. I think we wait until 26th or End of October
and maybe the can then already make a decision about the date and all other
things.

Regards
Otto
