Unless someone else has an objection, or an offer of a presentation I forgot about, we could schedule this talk for February. I vaguely remember Gus offering to do a presentation, but I don't recall if it was a solid comittment. The February date is the 14th.
We don't have a room reservation yet for March, since there are no rooms available at SDCOE in March. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I'd like to propose a talk for a Th night KPLUG meeting.
