[Libre-graphics-meeting-org] 2017 location meeting: 30.06 20:00 CET @ #LGM

[Femke Snelting]

Dear all,

Apologies for late announcement but the idea was to just discuss the two proposals before the end of the month (July 1 unfortuntely impossible for me) so that we can ask for clarifications etc. before making an actual decision.

If you cannot be there tomorrow, please read the documents and add comments, questions here: https://titanpad.com/lgmlocation-2017 The IRC-logs will be sent to the list.

For the decision meeting, can you select one of four dates here: https://nuages.domainepublic.net/m/wwW2B/

best!


Femke
