Dear All,

For me 12th does not work as nicely as 16th Nov as I will
have 3 meetings (including the OSGeo Board) in a row
on 12 Nov.

It seems that a majority of the PSC members (except Maria) are OK
with 16th Nov. so I propose the meeting as per schedule
below;

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2015&month=11&day=16&hour=13&min=0&sec=0 

The meeting page is at

http://www.zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/PSC/meetings/PSCMeet18

Please feel to add agenda items or edit the meeting page.

Best

Venka

P.S. Sorry Maria, see you at our other meeting on 12 Nov.
