[Foundation-l] Photographer IDs

[Craig Spurrier]

The Collaborative Media Network will be be having an IRC meeting to 
discuss the details on Thursday, April 3 at 21:00UTC (5pm EDT) @ 
#collabmedianet irc.freenode.com. If you are interested in the 
Collaborative Media Network I encourage you to attend. The time and date 
are definitely not ideal, but I think getting things moving asap is very 
important. Future meetings will be held at hopefully better time/dates.
