[Qgis-psc] Proposing a future hackfest in Davis, CA

[Tim Sutton]

Hi


OOOOOer I thought I had convinced you all to come to South Africa in 2020 :) No worries though South Africa will still be there in 2023….going to the USA at some point would be a very good idea I think.


Regards

Tim

If we schedule the meeting during vacation time, we could most likely get very affordable accommodation as they have many student dorm rooms.
