[Ottawa_users] Dec and Jan meetings

[Regie Alam]

Hello,

   The workshop indeed went well. And yes it was
longer than what I expected but I think was necessary
as it was designed as an introduction.

   Scott, are you planning to host more next year?
Also, I trust that my trivia prize cap will be safe in
your hands before I come and pick it up:)
