[OSGeo-UK] [External] Re: Fwd: QGIS release name from UK user group

[Matt Travis]

Hi all

I believe we're over thinking this plus it's really down to Si and he's the
QGIS user group lead for England.

This isn't the first UK based QGIS version name, that honour goes to
Brighton. Nottingham is a good future choice.

Cheers

Matt
