[ssf] Re: Announcements...

Wed Feb 23 20:15:37 GMT 2005

Yup, let's discuss it at next meeting.

I'm not going to be able to get any calendar on the front-page done for 
probably two weeks... but we'll get there!

There's a meeting next Thursday, I think - as well as a G8 one on Wednesday.

Shall we meet at Spital Hill on Thursday next week?
