[Qgis-psc] Traveling to the 's-Hertogenbosch

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi all,

I support this initiative. Spending the project money in ways that keep 
the one planet we have in good shape for future generations should be in 
the best interest of everyone.

I am planning to travel to the Netherlands by train (takes me ~8 hours).


Too bad you can't be there, Régis. I hope it's not too bad, get well soon!

Matthias
