[platform-coop-dev-kit] Follow up on co-design planning

Wed Oct 16 08:07:58 UTC 2019

Hi Dana,

Yes, both days work for me! Let's say *22nd at 7:30pm IST?*

I also wanted to write to you about my presence at the Platform
Cooperativism Conference - my visa application was rejected, and I shall be
writing to inform Trebor about this now. Was really looking forward to
meeting all of you - perhaps some other time.

Warmest,
Salonie
