The in-person location is at the North Bellevue Community Center:

Please come early, if you can, to help set up the room.

The meeting will follow our normal format with introductions all around,
collecting technical questions to answer later, then any presentations,
and finishing with our best answers to the technical questions.

I plan to give a presentation on an RSS reader, as a follow up topic
from a discussion a few months ago, using proxmox to host it.

We had a great meeting last month. Thank you to everyone who
participated.

The primary speaker was Adam Monsen. He gave a talk about self hosting
that he documented in his book. We covered that and many other subjects
which I have listed below:
