"You talkin' to me!?!" (from "Taxi Driver") Phoebe - (& Pete)
wasn't sure if you're e-mail meant that I am also now unsubscribed from the -- San Francisco Bay Area Wikimedians <[email protected]> -- list? If so, I'll sign up again. also, I'll be glad to help as a meeting facilitator (my former career before World Peacemaker!) and to plan/organize the meeting. I still have a few thoughts for improvement from the Wiki 10th event. Best, John M. O’Connell World Peace Campaign:Time Out for Peace Project John M.
