Meeting October 6, 2022

[Jeff Scheel]

All,

Despite limited feedback on my Doodle proposals from last week, I'm going to try a time which is more AP-friendly and should still work for Europe:  8AM Eastern U.S. Daylight Time (UTC -4).

Here's a link to the invite:

Tentative agenda:

• Program updates (Jeff)
• Discussion on tooling, times, etc. to improve attendance
• What's cool?

Please join if you can.  I'd love your input!!!
