Next Meeting: 2024-Jan-14 18:30 - DoD IT

[Jas Eckard]

I haven't heard from the person who originally said they would be able
to talk on Tuesday, but luckily, Andrew has stepped in!

Andrew will be talking about Department of Defense (DoD) Information
Technology (IT).

He said it may be shorter than our full meeting time, so be sure to
have questions ready for him, or even questions about Linux and Open
Source in general. This will be a great time to socialize with
everyone.

If you can't attend in-person at OpenWorks:

OpenWorks

Greenville, SC

Hey, everyone! I got a message from Ben, leader of ColaLUG, who will
be adding additional info after Andrew's talk:

> I will definitely use the rest of the time to expound on Platform One vs the rest of the DoD, the drama with Nicholas Chaillan, and less.

I hope to see everyone at OpenWorks tomorrow night, or at least on the Jits!

I forgot to talk about Big Bang documentation, which is so good, it's almost too much. They use the open source mkdocs software. It uses markdown format.

Big Bang releases every two weeks and has excellent release notes.

Correction: Since I left the team, they have added 5 packages to their package list. So now they have 42, lol.
