If I recall from the previous meeting's agenda, there were no items of significance.<br /><br /> I would suggest that irc meetings are held as required, or failing that we have discussions using the mailing list on a per event basis. This would help achieve more traffic on the mailing list and it would mean no more late dinners because we have an irc meeting in the evening! :)<br /><br /><br /> Tom.<br /><br /> On Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 05:26:48PM +0100, <a href="mailto:laura@lczajkowski.com">laura@lczajkowski.com</a> wrote:<br /> > Aloha folks!<br /> > <br /> > This place is a bit quiet lately and there are over 100 people on here.
