[DEMUG] Fwd: Maine User Group Joint Meeting in November?

[Matthew Baya]

What do people think about this proposal? Anyone up for this ? I'm  
not sure if I can make it myself but perhaps we can organize some  
group rides?

Also, do we want to have a DEMUG meeting in this area on this  
subject? Our annual meeting ? :)
