Hi all,
Javier, thanks for raising this issue!
I think moving the meeting to 2nd or 3rd December would be the cleanest option.
I can't personally make either date, so my scheduled What's New talk would have
to be postponed to the next meeting in February. I was also going to host the
December meeting, so the choice of 2nd or 3rd December would depend on who is
available to host it and give talks.
Here's a suggestion: in any case, we could also have a Christmas pub meet on
Monday 22nd December. Instead of talks, we could bring laptops and show and
tell, meet new people and catch up.
Best wishes,
Ed
