http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teachingopensource/2011-02-25/teachingopensource.2011-02-25-02.24.html
has the logs.
A bit of context: Harish has gotten a bunch of POSSE queries from
different places around Asia,
Harish and I are hashing out a POSSE bid process draft in
http://openetherpad.org/posse-bid-process-draft right now, in case
anyone wants to peek in.
We'll merge it into the wiki page at
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/POSSE_bid_process#Proposal_Process
when we're done for the night.
