Hello all, I'm interested planning/organizing a small kinda of NGCC in Lisbon, Portugal in late May early June. Just waiting for the venue to confirm possible dates.
Would be a 1day event kinda last year, is this something people would be interested? I can push a google form for accessing the interest today.
