[Qgis-psc] Zanzibar

Tue Mar 6 03:12:24 PST 2018

Hi all

I would ask you to please wait until Friday  - Yves is going to get final confirmation that we can be hosted at SUZA and I would not like to promote that as the venue without that in place.

Regards

Tim

We originally planned to do it after (as other code sprinting happens then) but Lene felt it is better that we do it before when people are still ‘fresh’. I agree with her. Yves Barthelemy is our local contact there and he is going to help us organise a venue at the local university.
