[Dune] Announcement: Dune User Meeting

[Bernd Flemisch]

Dear Dune,

Andreas Dedner proposed to do a proceedings of the 
upcoming user meeting. I very much like the idea and would 
second his proposal. It would allow us to create something 
longer-lasting which can be shown off to the outside 
world.

Of course it heavily depends on whether the participants 
want to contribute, and also Andreas and I would 
definitely need some help with that. So I would like to 
put this up for discussion.

Kind regards
Bernd
