[Qgis-psc] Centenery celebration of Białowieża National Park (Poland) and QGIS.

[Tim Sutton]

And of course there was QGIS 1.7 Wroclaw (randome hungarian PDF for it
here: https://qgis.org/downloads/brochure/qgis17_brochure_en.pdf). But do I
understand the original question correctly as asking to use the name even
if we cannot hold an in-person meeting there this year?

Regards

Tim
