Are we going to have an IRC meeting in November?

[Mike O'Donohue]

Right so,
In the absence of an alternative proposal, for November we will stick
with the 3rd Wednesday (16 Nov 11 @ 9pm) for the monthly team IRC
meeting. Those present can discuss any changes they feel appropriate
for the format or timing of future meetings.  I'm all for short
efficient meetings.
Regards,
Mike
