[Qgis-developer] QGIS HF Accomodation

Wed Aug 7 04:26:06 PDT 2013

Hi Jonathan,

We had already considered that. But the timing of the HF is conflicting 
with the same weekend when the university is opening for the new 
semester. Everything is fully booked.

In terms of other accomedation, there are some events happening in 
Brighton which has made group booking not possible.

Thanks
Saber
