I would like to invite everyone concerned to meet at Robinson's Galleria Ortigas 6pm on Friday, November 9, 2007.
This is a completely informal thing with the agenda of determining such matters as: where are we right now, what facilities (if any) are available to us, who are we, etc., so that eventually we can decide where to go from here. I have my own ideas (and yes I am willing to commit to them), but I'd really rather discuss them in person and besides I think it's best we start meeting up already as we are filling up the maillist too much. I'd very much like to have Ian there of course, plus Paolo as well as any other people who have had a chance to run things in the past. However if you are unable to come it's ok I will make sure to document everything for everyone's perusal later on. I look forward to meeting you guys all.
