Nothing earth-shaking.
Meeting
Next Meeting
20071107 at 18:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting.
Please note that it's 18:00 UTC now again after the DST switch, so the effective meeting time should stay the same for everyone! And a second reminder: we currently meet only every second week (the ones with a odd week number)!
Last weeks meeting
Was a week with an even number, thus no meeting.
