[Opensim-users] Metameets 2012

[Fleep Tuque]

We've added this to the agenda for our next AvaCon board meeting, and I
think that timeline sounds feasible.  Most people are pretty busy with
holiday stuff for the next couple months, so starting the serious planning
after the New Year makes sense.

Will post an update after our meeting to confirm the rest of the AvaCon
folks are on board.  (I don't anticipate any issues!)

Thanks,

- Chris/Fleep
