[Ubuntu-SG] FOSA - Software Freedom Day Singapore 2010 Meeting Summary

Mon Jun 7 06:19:18 UTC 2010

I have no idea about that. Someone mentioned that we should stick to the
wiki till after the SOFD2010 and see if ubuntu.sg is picking up or not
before setting up a website.

So, what's the final decision?

With regards,
