[epsi-coord] publica as mission meeting

Wed Apr 6 11:54:52 BST 2011

Also I took the liberty of mentioning Republica as an event we are taking
part in, in our master sheet.
It does mean we need to be writing about this on the platform as well. I
will start posting in the coming days.

Daniel, if you have additional info that would be useful to work into
postings, apart from what I can find on the event website, please let me
know.

best,
Ton
