[Aust-NZ] Melbourne Open GIS Group

[Roald de Wit]

Hi Simon and list,

The meeting was very successful indeed and I look forward to the next 
one! I'll be there, Thursday the 22nd of July @OpenHub.

Not too sure about the Charles Dickens tavern (very limited selection of 
quality beers on tap), but the Sherlock Holmes and the good 'ol Mitre 
Tavern are close by too.

Regards, Roald
