[clue] Meetings?

Thu May 16 14:42:56 MDT 2019

David,
I am open to any option at this point, this gives us a month to promote the
date, and decide on a subject/speaker/project. I enjoy installing and
configuring, not an expert but can help with Debian/Ubuntu and flavours. If
there needs to be any setup I can arrive early to help.
