[mapserver-users] PSC Meeting Minutes

[Jeff McKenna]

Great news is that the MapServer Project Steering Committee (PSC) is now 
meeting monthly, to get the momentum going and continue the great work 
for the MapServer community.  Note that anyone can attend the meeting, 
and feedback from all users and developers is very important.  The first 
meeting was held yesterday, and a summary is below.
