[Novalug] OSS for Biz - June 25th Meeting

[Timothy Ferro]

We have talked about SaaS at a number of OSS4biz meeting and we will
continue to talk about it anytime someone wants to bring it up at a meeting.

Secondly, we have talked about changing the location to a more central one
but until people start showing up and asking for that we will continue to
meet there as it is convenient to those of us that go to the meetings. we
have met in fairfax a number of times but only had 1 good turn out. we
actually talked about it the last couple of meetings. if anyone wants us to
meet in a more central location we are all for it, so long as people show
up.
