[wellylug] Meeting this month

Tue Mar 11 09:45:27 NZDT 2014

I think overview sounds good for this time, as you are making
it. Then we can see where questions/comments gets us, and can
continue discussion on mailing list afterwards to determine
what people want long term (slash when you make it ;)

So lineup would be me on GPG, Brent with half hour overview
on GIS & spatial stuff, and postpone Christian to next month?

We will do a keysigning this month, but then another one in
months to come (to let people who just learn about it this
month to get ready!)

Does that sound good with everyone?

Cheers,

Hugh
