Re: [HIG] Meeting next Thursday 1900 GMT, new calendar

[Suzanna Smith Eng Sun COM]

I can attend the IRC meeting on Thursday. I'd love to not deal with CVS
to do my review (I don't have a CVS account and would rather just visit
a link)...so I'll look forward to instructions on where to go to do that!

:)

Thanks,
Suzanna
