Community Lab (KDAB Berlin) | Sprint Sat. 2 April 11:00-19:00

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Important update:

Unfortunately, CoViD has struck again and we will have to postpone the 
lab setup Sprint until mid-May!

Fortunately, that means some of you who were interested but couldn't 
join on 2 April may have the opportunity to join then :)

I will update the mailing list once we have more concrete ideas of dates.

Stay healthy, everyone!

Your community organizer,
Joseph
