[Ubuntu-be] Getting a new Website

[Bruno De Bondt]

Hi,

A one day Drupal sprint sounds fine to me! I can help with the set up, 
config and theming of Drupal.

Dates/timing: the end of June will be pretty hectic for me, so 
preferably before or after that. No problem to meet on a Saturday or a 
Sunday.

If space/location is necessary: we can always get together at the 
Indymedia.be office. It's in Brussels (so quite central), and easy to 
reach by public transport or car. Just an idea ...

see you soon,
- bruno
