Community Lab (KDAB Berlin) | Sprint Sat. 21 May 11:00-19:00

[Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss]

Hi all,

just a reminder that we will have a Sprint next Saturday to set up a 
community lab; see below for details.

If you would like to join, we would love to see you there.

If you are not in Berlin, be in touch as we should have funds to support 
travel to and from the Sprint and lodging while here.

Looking forward to it!

Joseph
