[ELECTRON] Fwd: Use of the Electron Club for an open source/data mapping workshop

[Martin McGrath]

While these are interesting points for discussion there's been no indication

IIRC we don't even have a bank account.

In the near future we'll be using the CCA network for Internet access,
meaning we won't need to raise funds for future broadband payments.
