[okfn-labs] Status of forestwatchers

Wed Jun 5 12:55:11 UTC 2013

Dear Maning,

Sure!

Can we try to set a G+ hangout (or Skype call) for next week? 
Unfortunately Fernando Ramos (one of the researches in FW) will be busy 
in another project for the next 3 weeks and he'll not be able to join. 
But I'll be quite available.

Cheers,
Eduardo.
