[FreeGeek] impromptu irc-chat on the idea of Boards

[sean hill]

Just for clarity Scott, the web based interface will allow us to get
through a firewall correct? I may be at Langara College so I'm going to
need something that operates on a pretty benign port.

Also, you say the meeting is tonight, but ifny wrote that it was taking
place tomorrow. I notice ifny wrote in at ~3am, she must have been on
geek time and meant today.

sean  :o)
