I have found that I needed to explicitly join the group in order to be a member of the group; supporting it did not automatically sign me up.  I was thinking of requesting a wiki on which we can put ideas for discussion; the wiki is apparently available on request.    I was going to post the notes I took from #lgd14 bar camp session, as I guess I sent these too late to be included in the minutes from day 2 of that workshop.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for following up. Let me know if you would like a wiki for the group. Thanks!
