See you there?


I would be if my webcam were here. Perhaps some day amazon will get around
to shipping it.


No need for a web cam... it was six or so presenters and only chat and 
questions from the audience. And yes that was early.


I made note of many good points and will find a place for them.

Now I need to plan a virtual wake for a close colleague who has just 
died of heart attack. :(


Check in on your friends and family.

Thank you Michael for setting this up or just letting us know about it
(depending on your level of participation).

I was only able to catch part of it, but that is better than I ever manage
for the regular PLUG meetings.

For anyone who missed it, the video is up here:

8AM? In the morning?

Can I ask why go for a morning meeting? Not everyone is closed due to
COVID-19. There are a LOT of people still scheduled to work, either with
adjustments to their work environment or from home. My company sells
devices used by the military and law enforcement agencies, so at 8AM I am
available for technical support as usual. It seems pretty arrogant to
assume that this situation affects everyone equally.

Just tossing some empathy out there I'm sure plenty of people feel
excluded from that meeting simply due to the timeframe.
