Hi there. Thanks for the invite. I gotta tell you the DITA BusDocs meetings are extremely interesting. The most recent one touched on some concepts that I have considered discussing in my Writing OBJECTively group. I'll let you know when I have the agenda for my group established so you can see if there are any topics you want to follow.
Have fun,
Mark
