[ALUG] Fwd: We are meeting this saturday?

[Ismail Settenda]

Yes, we did meet and though we missed you, we do understand, it is the
nature of our businesses.

Yes, we did have a good constructive meeting and we will be sending the
minutes shortly but in brief we have decided on pursuing two approaches and
as result setup two working groups.

So between now and the next meeting which will be on at 5.30 pm, Thursday,
5th Sept, 4th Flr at the Arusha City Complex (next to St Thomas) hospital
we need to actively contribute and discuss online, so that when we meet and
cement activities.

Best regards
