Hi all,
Lets lock in next Monday for what is the most popular timeslot:
https://doodle.com/poll/s3vdegqcqrdbxq4w
We will meet on IRC at: irc://freenode.net#osgeo
See below for the agenda. I'll volunteer to chair this first meeting,
but I won't have the bandwidth to continue playing this role. There is a
lot on the agenda below to cover, so we will need to be concise to get
everything covered in 1 hour.
If you have any ideas, it would be good to introduce them on the OSGeo
Aust-NZ email list beforehand.
