has this idea been developed further? we'd like to see how we can support
this. for this purpose, we'd like to invite interested folks to a meeting
at ASTI to discuss this. we're in front of the Math building along C.P.
Garcia Ave (near the corner of Katipunan) inside UP Diliman.
would a meeting during office hours be ok for those interested or should
we organize something late afternoon or on a weekend?
regards,
denis
