Workshop with BlueSquare

CANCELLED - We are organizing a workshop on November 19th from 10am to 12 Brussels time to further the knowledge transfer and answer remaining questions.

As we did not receive any questions in the comments section, we decided to cancel this workshop.

We are aware that support may be needed, so we will reach out to you in the days ahead how to use this time the best and answer any further questions you may have.

Although the event was cancelled, an informal list of questions have been answered as prolongation of the developpers weekly meeting: https://openimis.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OP/pages/1938489348
