[Rivet] Rivet "collaboration meeting"?

[Andy Buckley]

I'm easy with either London or Copenhagen, and the 20-23 May block is
also probably best for me -- 20-22nd being the best slot.

We should decide asap, in order to book flights, accommodation, etc.
Whichever venue we don't use this time can be our Plan A location for
the next one. So, Hendrik, Jon, Leif, James (and Frank S & David G?) can
you please reply to let us know if 20-23rd May works for you and whether
you prefer/require London vs. Copenhagen?

Cheers,
Andy

I'm always happy for an excuse to visit London though, so I guess it depends on how much the rest of you fancy a trip here.
