[Januaryfirst] Mainlander radio tomorrow.

Fri Jan 3 13:14:32 PST 2014

Hey folks, I can't make a meeting on Thursday but fine if others can meet
that day. Also, seems like a few more folks might want to get involved so
might be good to add any people who are interested in organising to the
invite for next meeting.

Amazing demo BTW. Was nice seeing everyone and was a solid crew of people
in the streets together. I also had a short interview with noii radio
yesterday in Montreal.

See you all soon,

harjap
