[LRUG] [ANN] February meeting details - Monday 9th Feb 6:30pm to 8pm @ Carwow near Victoria Station

[Murray Steele]

Hi all,

As foretold by prophecy we now have details of our 6th talk for the evening:

* "Shayk.online - anonymous chat with Sinatra and websockets" by Eleanor
McHugh

We still have 2 open slots, so if you'd like to share something, or just be
announced in a portentous way like "as foretold by prophecy" why not get in
touch with us on talks at lrug.org to sort something out.

Full details of the talks, venue and registration is available at
https://lrug.org/meetings/2026/february/

Hopefully we'll be in touch again soon with details of the last 2 talks.

See you on Monday!

Murray & the rest of the organising team
