I'm happy to hear that KEduca is progressing :)<br>
About the meeting: I'd like to join in. I will also try to invite a german<br>

<br>
The meeting should be on IRC (<a href="http://freenode.net" \

the channel though we can create a new channel for the meeting to<br> avoid being \

I don't have much time in the near future due to traveling. How would the \

Time zone wise we need something to fit Europe and Brazil as far as I<br>
