Matt mentioned that GroundWork Open Source has some monies that could be used to fly some developers to the Bay Area and host a meetup -- I wonder if that offer is still on the plate (Matt?) -- I am somewhat busy for the next two months (SuperComputing, etc.) so I think the earliest I can attend a meeting would be January. However, if the schedule is right, I could potentially fit it in November/December (the meeting will probably be a day or two I would think). Thoughts?
