[Ubuntu-SG] [Bulk] Re: South-East Asian FOSS Collaboration]

[Muhammad Heidir]

Thank you for your support.

I thought there is a meeting this Friday, 15th August 2008, at CItyhall
Starbucks? Since this could be our first meet up, we get to know about
each other first, then maybe start a small discussion first. Then later
on, we could meet up again, and discuss more issues and follow up. How's
that?

I'll be wearing a Ubuntu T-Shirt.

About the Team Ubuntu Singapore T-Shirt Billy suggested, I'll buy it if
its available.

Cheers!
