[LRUG] Pre-announcing our Jan meeting: A Recruitment Q&A

Happy new year folks, and welcome to 2021!

Just a quick reminder that our January meeting is in a week (Monday 11th). Full details are at https://lrug.org/meetings/2021/january/ <https://lrug.org/meetings/2021/january/> and please do register to make sure you get the link to the online meeting:

Also, don’t forget that in February we run our annual lightning talks meeting, so get thinking about any short talks you might want to give.

Have a great week!

If I get more than five then I'll pick whichever are easiest to ans^R^R^R^R^R^R^R the most useful in my opinion, and if I can squeeze any more in within time constraints I will. If one of yours gets picked and you're happy to send me a brief video of you asking the question, I can then do a reply and try and stitch it all together into a Q&A format talk that lasts ~40 mins.

It comes with a bit of a twist though as Thayer is keen to hear some Qs folk want to get As to early to prepare in advance.  The idea being that we'd run through those Q&As as a "talk" and then throw open the floor to a more traditional live Q&A session.
