Hi All,
It would be nice IMHO if someone physically present at the London Decom
Heart of Nowhere meeting could setup/ organize a (e.g. skype) Conference
call to include those who will not be in London ( physically ;-) ), e.g.
me... ;-)
Or to record the whole thing and .mp3 alike post it somewhere, or ...
just something to ineract live or enable feedback etc. later via list.
Or both...
Anyone liking the idea and feeling like realizing ?
All the Best/ Happy Decom/ Missing you all etc
:-)
