[LRUG] The August Meeting

[Pat Allan]

For the record, Sydney stole it from Melbourne ;)

We call it the analogue blog - and agreed, I think it works best at  
the start - it's not meant to be a place for any extended discussion,  
more along the lines of 'this cool plugin has been released', 'updates  
to x', 'conference y has been announced - anyone thinking of going?'

Here's the notes from such a session:
