[Aust-NZ] Melbourne Open GIS September 2011 Meetup

[Jody Garnett]

We will see what my plans are next meetup - I don't mind attending with an OSGeo hat on. 

It is nice to see the meetup thing in action; it was used in Sydney for a SCRUM meeting and a few other devel focused activities.

Meanwhile I will try and look for a venue in Brisbane.
