Hi Andy,
I could get agreement to get time off to attend this. It seems relevant
to the "Open Source in the Voluntary and Community Sector" project I
got funding for from East of England ChangeUp this afternoon -
UKP33,500 :-) .

>Whether you want to create an Issues Forum in your local community or are interested in applying lessons related to online

>This two hour session will include an overview of Issues Forum, a
