[LRUG] [ANN] November meeting details

[Murray Steele]

Hey folks,

Just to say we’ve had a bunch of you volunteer something so watch this
space for more details soon on the Novemeber meeting.  Thanks everyone!

We haven’t replied (yet) to everyone, but will do so soon.  We’re working
through in first-come first-served order.  Chances are some of you will be
bumped to December or even January.  It’s nice to have a bit of a backlog
though, so please do keep volunteering!

It might even be time to have a think about our lightning talks meeting
which is due in February - talks no longer than 10 minutes, and we have
space for up to 8 speakers.

Cheers,

Murray
