Google Meet joining info
Video call link: https://meet.google.com/sct-ptek-zij

We will be discussing:

- What date do we want to run FOSS4G:UK on? We are looking at early Sept 
and will be picking a date tomorrow.

- Venues update: we have some provisional venues in London, the 
north-west, Keyworth (Midlands), Bristol and Exeter/Plymouth. We do need 
some more so please volunteer!

- How we will make reference to it being 10 years since FOSS4G 2013 in 
Nottingham

- I will also mention whether we want to approach ESRI UK for 
sponsorship. Perhaps that will incentivise some people to come along!

- Anything else people want to mention.

If you can't make it, feel free to email me and I can take any points 
you have forward.

Best wishes,
Nick.
