[wdmmg-discuss] portugal data

Mon Sep 12 15:33:52 UTC 2011

Dear Angelica,

Great, I wouldn't worry too much about being able to programme, that
is the reason why we are training people like Carlos, although we are
trying to eliminate more and more of the technical aspect to make it
easier for anyone to do!

@Carlos, Argentina team - would you be able to make a call at some
point on Wednesday to talk this over further? What times are good for
you? I presume evening European time for Carlos will be best?

Best,

Lucy
