[nodel-discuss] NODE.London web development sessions

[marc garrett]

Hi Atty & all, 

It would, 'of course' be very useful for you to be a part of the current 
processes of the new website/platform/facility. Especially when you were 
so deeply involved in building (with a few others) the platform, at a 
critical period of NODE.London's history. Which I add, even though it 
now needs big changes in respect of future adventures; it is an 
excellent facility and visited by many from around the world as a vital 
reference point for NODE.L...

your input, advice and experience will be gratefully appreciated by all :-)

marc
