Topic: Freemind - Mind Mapping Software - Mo Holahan
As usual we are teaming up with the [https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCAMJX2 geocachers] to avoid being overwhelmed by garbage.


Our January meeting will feature "mind mapping" software and a product called Freemind. Freemind is especially good at "fast" brainstorming, with graphical forking or branching to new ideas. With Freemind it's easy to move information around and re-associate it, assign attributes, etc. There is a linux version available and there are several other "brands" of mind mapping software. Mo Holahan will be doing this demo for us.
