[FreeGeek] ATTENTION - Important Meeting Tuesday July 17 7pm

[Ifny]

Free Geek input into this document has been asked 
for, and that is why this meeting is so important.

One of the program's main objectives is to 
establish a form of quality control amongst reuse 
organisations; standards are of course very much 
overdue.

It is also important that we consider how Free 
Geek can best influence certain standards that may 
not be as stringent as ours.

Please come if you can.
