FOSS4G, Events, EuroCON, etc (was: "FOSS4G, plans...")

[Michael P. Gerlek]

A couple things:

- As Ari noted, the Event Table appears twice now -- this is scheduled
for me to fix on Thursday, plan to move it all cleanly over to the new
Drupal site.

- Event planning (FOSS4G and EuroCON, etc) are VisCom activities
scheduled for discussion at this Thursday's meeting.  Interested parties
are encouraged to attend!
