[tei-council] Planning next face2face meeting

[Martin Holmes]

I like Wolfson myself.

I'm going to be unavailable between September 30-ish and October 20-ish. 
Somewhere in there will be two weeks of holiday and a couple of things I 
have to be home for. So I like mid-November too.

Cheers,
Martin
