[Ubuntu] IRC meeting of {Debian, Ubuntu}Gis (Was: Google Summer of Code Satus)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

just to make some more noise.  If you are interested in an IRC meeting
between people of DebianGIS and UbuntuGIS give me please a ping.  If I
will receive three thumbs up besides Alan I'll setup a poll to find a
time that fits most people.

See you in IRC

      Andreas.
