Oops,
I forgot, if we do want to go forward and do a Asian chapters meeting
- we will need Erik Zachte to be there. You can not plan without
numbers and he has that.
And any other persons that may be a good addition - that anyone here
can think of?

Dear all:
Just wanna let you know about Hong Kong is planning to take the Chapters
Meeting 2011.
We already contacted our main possible sponsor Cyberport, to support the
venue, catering,
accommodation and local transportation (maybe even air tickets). We are
still negotiating
with them.
