Thanks to everybody who came to the meeting last night, here is a summary of

 for Document Freedom Day packs to politicians

 about open standards" DFD plan
- Andy to help with case of student expelled for using FS
- Somebody to ask Devon to add an explanation to their link to pdfreaders
 about what a Free Software PDF reader is
- Somebody to file lots of freedom of information requests to ask councils what
 information do they have about their PDF advice, how does this comply with
 national law, and what steps have they taken to consider free software
 alternatives as recommendations to the public

*Mailpod*

- Community hosting project name is mailpod.org (decided by vote)
- Mark to ask his contact about about legal requirements of storing mail
 server logs and access to user emails

- We can map out the actual categories of skills required for the project,
 look where there are gaps ad try and fill them with classes etc.
