[wsfii-discuss] Wsfii above and beyond?

Hi jo,

We were and are very excited to have a wsfii event here in montreal
gathering people together from at least the north east US and middle +
eastern canada.  However, I'm doubtful that it will take place this
spring because there is another wifi conference possibly happening and
grant-writing is probably a bigger priority for us at this moment than
organizing a conf (unfortunately).

:-(
