Welcome Open Source Fans

“Thanks for the warm welcome dave. Since Im new to group and country I would like to attend a meeting very soon. Unfortunately im not familiar with the protocol ... like how to organise it ... do we need a certain topic? do the other group members know each other already or not? Are there public rooms available which we could use or rent? Just gimme a quick hint how such a meeting would look like. cheers martin”

“Welcome to the group. Perhaps the impetus to hold a meeting is the arrival of a newcomer to the coast and the group. Perhaps we had better start thinking along those lines again this week. We are on the lookout for the best venues and support resources, eg for being able to have presentations, otherwise there is always the good old pub or surf club meet.”
