Es gibt noch viel zu Handwerken im neuen Wohnobjekt. Trotzdem ist ein Mongertreffen immer eine willkommene Abwechselung. Der letzte Termin war am Montag, 5.07.2004, ein gemütlich warmer Sommerabend an der Cardinal-Cardijn-Strasse. Mittlerweile ist eine neue Version von Skole-Linux auf dem GPL-Markt, hallo Susanne und Peter. Nächster Mongertreff-Termin? Nächsten Montag ist Feiertag, vielleicht danach die Woche Montag, 8.11.2004, spricht etwas dagegen? Lokalität, damit wir nicht aus der Übung kommen: Chinese am Kaufhof? Vielleicht hat jmd. einen Vorschlag für einen Speisetempel mit einfacherer Parkmöglichkeit? Ich kümmere mich gerne um die Reser4ung. Gruss Markus Monderkamp
