[Gfoss] [OSGeo-Discuss] Last chance before cancelling: OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (Italy)!?

[Simone Giannecchini]

Ciao Chris,
I heard from aaime about this plan, I actually think it would be
pretty nice to spend a few days all together, even though a whole week
is probably a bit too much for me.

Jeroen, are you sure you cannot hold a bit more? It is not that easy
to spare a whole week but it might be nice!

Btw, since now developers seem to have become a limitating factor,
probably some "supporting" company could donate some funding to this
event. The ROI should be good since in a monastry there would not be
much to do besides working :-)!

Simone.
