[OSGeo-Edu] proposed meeting

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi all,
I can't say that any time is better than another for me, except for the 
obvious local times between 11pm and 7am :)  but I'll try to work in any time 
that others are available for.  

Puneet, perhaps you could just pick a time that works for you and someone in 
Europe, i.e. Ari - and then the rest of us can try to fit it in wherever we 
fall.

I've heard of others having two meetings to cover things in a bit more 
manageable way - there might even be some interesting regionalised issues 
worth talking about.

I'm just curious...what kind of technologies are people on this list 
comfortable using?  I'm comfortable with Skype and IRC - I assume these tools 
are still somewhat new (or altogether new) to some on this list.  Should we 
arrange a phone meeting instead?
