[Bradford] Meeting tonight.

Tue Aug 20 17:59:16 UTC 2013

I'm currently building using the following repo.

https://bitbucket.org/xixs/build.gamecake

The build script in the base is the script that tries to build something
that I can then upload to launchpad.

The files under debian are the things that are generally getting tweaked.

not very useful commit messages though since I have no idea what I'm doing
:)
