[HamWAN PSDR] Agenda for today's meeting (March 12, 2013)

[Bart Kus]

My apologies for the improperly late communications.  The Flea Market 
took a lot of effort and I've been wiped out.  Many things have 
slipped.  Who wants to be secretary? :)

We will mostly follow up on relevant previous work, shown in the meeting 
notes from last time, below.  We may have some new participants in this 
meeting, from the NW-MESH effort.  Only new item is the MicroHAMS 
presentation on March 23rd, and what needs to be done so we're ready to 
have a great talk+demo.

Aaand that's it.
