[OSGeo-UK] [External] Re: FOSS4GUK:Local, Thu 17 Nov 2022

[Barry Rowlingson]

Hi,

 this is in the middle of academic term, so I've no idea if I'll have
Unmovable Teaching Commitments on any given day yet. I'd love to host an
event, but with the academic timetable still months away (and if I'm
teaching as last year, I *will* have a course going at that point in term)
I can't commit.... Or I commit and tell the timetabling/teaching people I
can't do that Thursday!

Barry
