[AstroPy] meeting issues

[Erik Tollerud]

To facilitate this process, I've set up a poll with these options at

http://astropy.wikispaces.com/2011+Coordination+Meeting+Poll

Hopefully all interested parties can make their availability clear
there and we can see which option is best.

Personally, I agree with Thomas that the best solution is probably
*both* 1 and 2 (3 is more challenging given the short timescale for
those who had not previously planned on attending).
