[OHSW.org] Long time no activity - what about a virtual meeting

[H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Reminder: tomorrow 20:00 CEST

Lukas noticed me that he may participate but does not yet know for sure.

So we may be up to 9 - let's see how this works if 8 are talking and 1 is listening :)

Best regards,
Nikolaus
