[Ewen Hill]

John,
    Thank you for the kind words and thank you to all of those behind the
scenes who got the mapathong over the line,,,just.

    A special note of appreciation to Oscar So who worked
diligently throughout the day to make the Melbourne meetup run smoothly and
answer a myriad of questions from newbies to QGIS experts. Thanks Oscar
