[Aust-NZ] FOSS4G-ANZ?

[Jeff McKenna]

Note that #foss4g channel is ready to use for your meetings, and here is 
where the logs for that channel live: http://irclogs.geoapt.com/foss4g/

(if you choose another channel like #foss4g-anz etc, likely there are no 
logs setup)

But you're free to use whatever of course!  Just giving you an 
information dump, and you can choose whatever you wish, to "git 'er dun" ha.
