[tei-council] Ann Arbor spring meeting

[Piotr Bański]

Hi,

I also plan to fly to Detroit from within the States, on Sunday. I will
try to find a morning flight but can't promise I will find one, so I'd
rather treat Sunday afternoon as an extra, rather than as part of the
meeting proper.

Best,

  Piotr
