-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody! Just to once more make everyone aware of FOSDEM starting on Saturdays. Us Wesnoth folks will meet on Friday evening already and probably have some dinner at the Greek restaurant called "Santorini". So if we missed each other before, just head over there and some of us Wesnoth people might eventually join in...
By now there are even weather forecasts available and it seems to be getting cold and there is a chance that we might even get some snow. So don't forget to bring clothes fitting for this situation, just a t-shirt might not be enough. ;) And for those who missed the mail before (or are too lazy to search for it): You can find the original mail with the packlist at the end of this mail.
