> a success.

> Numbers peaked around thirty and this is roughly what went down:
> - Tim Sutton gave an overview of QGIS and 'What's new in 2.4'
> - Jeff McKenna did a demo of Mapserver
> - I went through CRSs for South Africa and demo'd the new SG diagram 
> downloader QGIS plugin.
> - There were breakaway groups on QGIS, GIS in education and STDM (Social 
> Tenure Domain Model), a new FOSS project and QGIS plugin.
> - Lots of discussion took place on various other topics.
> 
> A big thank you to Aslam Parker and the NGI for hosting us and providing 
> refreshments.
