Big thanks to everyone that attended the inaugural meeting of PLUG/OSS!
There were 21 people in attendance, in advance of the meeting I heard from an additional 7 people that would have like to have been there but couldn't make it.
This group represented a diverse range of individuals consisting of Developers, Network administrators, Programmers, Webdesigners, Engineers, Users, and Enthusiasts Representing Private industry, Holland college, UPEI, CBC, and Federal and Provincial Government.
