[Brisbane-pm] 2008 PM Census & local OSDClub

[Damian James]

I started to fill this out back when it came out... must have got  
distracted, my apologies, I'll do that now.

I'm keen to get things happening in Brisbane too. I can even  
volunteer a venue for events, with videoconferencing facilities and  
other goodies, close to the CBD. I don't have a lot of time to co- 
ordinate anything much, but some simple meetings could be a fine  
thing. I recall the last time anything interesting happened with  
Brisbane.pm it involved the folks from Trolltech - are you still around?

Cheers
Damian
