[OSGeo-UK] Raster meeting

Thu Aug 25 06:31:43 PDT 2016

Hi Alastair,

I would be interested in contributing to / attending this and would be 
happy to contribute to a beginners level workshop / practical.

I think starting with just one day is best, and echo Jo's comments.

Let us know how you progress,
Best wishes,
Nick.
