Today's meeting was a huge success! There were 4 attendees. Guess the end.

Anyway, even though we didn't have enough people and especially we missed our 
chairman zkriesse who wasn't there for some reason, we managed to discuss 
about some things.

Firstly, we talked about actions mentioned at last meeting. Me and AndrewMC 
have planned the IRC documentation a little bit and now it just needs some 
work to do. nisshh haven't got far with his wiki documentation and we didn't 
know about zkriesse's situation. JoeMaverickSett has done two and half pages 
of wiki documentation contribution which is just great! shadeslayer wasn't at 
meeting so we don't know about his situation on packaging documation... 

We spoke something about this mailing list and we noticed that it's quite 
silent.

At the end I mentioned the Google Code-In competition which is just great 
news! It's like Google Summer of Code for under 18 years old people. The 
projects participating in it will be announced at 5th of November and the 
actual work begins at 22th day.

In Code-In , you do tasks for open source projects, related to coding, 
documentation, outreach, quality assurance, research, training, translating 
and user interface desinging and research. So basic idea is that you can do 
just anything to help these open source projects.

If you complete one task, you'll get a kewl t-shirt for participating. But 
here comes the awesome thing, if you do three tasks, you'll get 100 USD 
straight to your bank account! And that's not all, you can get up to 500 USD 
if you really like to do these tasks :)

I expect everyone capable to join this even, it's just too great opportinity 
to introduce yourself into open source contributing!
