> All,
> 
> I am proposing a meeting for Tue Apr 11, at 11p GMT-6 (figure out your
> respective times). This will be an "getting our feet wet" meeting.
> Markus won't be around, and I am not sure who else will not be around.
> But, some of us have confirmed our availability.
> 
> We will use IRC. Markus has put together a helpful cheat-sheet at
> http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/twiki/bin/view/GRASS/HowToIRC. I myself am
> new to IRC, but have installed Chatzilla, and that seems to work quite
> well. There are a few other open source IRC clients out there. Just
> Google for 'em.
> 
> The agenda of the meeting will be --
> 
> 1. To introduce ourselves and our interests (sort of a repeat of what
> is there on the wiki already, but it will help get everyone know each
> other).
> 
> 2. To try and identify a few key threads in the variety of interests
> that we want to pursue.
> 
> 3. To attempt to aggregate ourselves into sub-committees that would
> pursue the various threads separately. We can't all be everything to
> everyone, so we have to break up our goals into sub-goals, and try and
> accomplish those -- from higher research, to curriculum, to
> pre-packaged tools, to evangelism... lets begin to identify them
> consensually.
> 
> If too many of us are not going to be available Apr 11, I will be happy
> to reconvene after Apr 17 when Markus is also around, else lets get
> things started sooner rather than later.
> 
> One caveat -- I too will be on the road (am already on the road -- hate
> it). In fact, Apr 11, I will be in a hotel where I know the internet
> works quite well. In all probability everything will be fine from my
> side, but in case something goes kaput, you know I will blame the
> hotel.
