[Qgis-community-team] Re: Community Team

[Otto Dassau]

Hi, 

I added an IRC channel "#qgis-community-team" to freenode.net. We can use it for
our first meetings or whenever we like. Do you have experience with IRC?
Otherwise I can try to help.

For more information a new "Meetings" wiki page exists: 
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/CommunityTeamMeetings

We can use it to organize our meetings, save IRC logs and to collect ideas
and make notes for our meetings. For the first meeting a new wiki page "Meeting
May 2008" already exists on "Meetings".
http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/CTeamMeeting1

Next news is that we now have a new mailing list, too. Please subscribe so we
can discuss all topics with an archive from now on.

Regards,
 Otto
