Hi,

I'm an admin of SourceSup (https://sourcesup.cru.fr) who is running 
Geforge 4.5.11 and we plan to migrate to FusionsForge
I'm interested to come to the "FusionForge hackers / users meeting"
and I'd like to know more details about location and schedule.

thx,

Gaël Merlin

> - packaging and installation system: what needs to be done to keep the
> three ways of installation (manual, *.deb, *.rpm) in sync with as little
> work as possible?
>
> - permissions system: clarification of what happens currently, ideas for
> evolution;
>
> - plugins and interaction with external software: do we lack stuff that
> would make this easier?
>
> - roadmap, long-term plans, this sort of things;
>
> - other things that users may want to discuss with hackers?

>    I'd therefore like to invite interested people to mark the 3rd of
> February on their agendas.  The meeting will take place in
> Issy-les-Moulineaux (near Paris, within reach of the tube).  If you're
> interested, please get in touch with us (#FusionForge on the FreeNode
> IRC network, or the fusionforge-general mailing-list), so we can have a
> rough estimate of how many people to expect.  The meeting room is
> provided by France Télécom, where Christian Bayle works, and he's
> probably going to need numbers if not names.
