Re: [xcbf] Next Meeting Arrangements

I strongly prefer a NetMeeting.  A short face-to-face is not good value
for money, and I do not believe we have enough material yet for a long
face-to-face to be useful.

Let us try Netmeeting, and if that shows that a face-to-face would be
beneficial, we can schedule one.
