    - Chat with Pete Edwards about node funding:
      - Georgios has been in contact trying to harmonise proposals :-)
      - Pete is thinking about continuation of Policy Grid focusing on Rural simulation that integrates socio-economic and bio-physical models.
        
        I mentioned the Sustainable uplands project at Leeds funded under RELU.
        
        Pete mentioned that there is a similar sounding RELU project being managed at Aberdeen.
        
        I appreciate that there is some overlap between the RELU projects and also Policy Grid work.
    - Chat with Andy Hudson-Smith:
      - Large Scale Changes in Small Pieces:
        
        Considered that the amount of green space being lost in urban areas might be more than just the area. Perception requires perspective and I was thinking about the voxel based visualisation/viewshed work of Justin Washtell.
      - Cartograms
    - Introduction
      - Use of personal electronic equipment has been banned during sessions:
        
        That's made things tricky again!
        
        It would be good to have an event like this when it wasn't banned for a change.
        
        I can't see myself sticking to the rules throughout as I'm bound to get annoyed and run out of paper or ink or need some information or something...
    - Node Reports
      - GeoVUE
        
        MapTube
        
        Metadata for maps
        
        Andy Hudson-Smith reckons that they have not considered how this might work with GRADE. Perhaps they should. I sense a repository discussion on the horizon.
      - MiMeG
      - Policy Grid
        
        Social Web = Web 2.0

        Data mining
        
        Area Classification
        
        Agent Based Modelling
        
        Small grants project call being proposed for when node funding is allocated.
    - Dissemination
      - New Web Site

        They are planning to do away with the wiki and the forum.
        
        First news that the wiki is to be shutdown...
        
        First news that the wiki is not working in that new users are not able to register.

        I had to do some wiki work breaking the rules, but hey ho:
        
        Added notices to the NCeSS Wiki : Main Page and saved its code in the following comment in this list item:
        
        Started Petition to Save the NCeSS Wiki.
        
        contents of which on 2007-06-21 is contatined in following comment:
