[Fsfe-ie] GPLv3 - what should/could we plan?

[teresahackett at eircom.net]

How about having a GPLv3 page on ifso.ie with links and info.

If there are signs of interest, perhaps have a briefing/Q&A session 
later in the year (what's the timeframe for the consultation).

Support your other suggstions.
