[SGVLUG] SGVLUG Meeting this Tonight: The Internet-in-a-Box Project

[Miguel Hernandez]

This is going to be recorded, right? I don't have a mic but we've started
using one since we stream the tech meetups I co-organize. I'll ask my
co-organizers about it or if they can attend themselves. I'm asking about
the recording 'cuz I'm not too sure I can make it there in time but boy
does this look interesting! Didn't know this was a collaborative project
between SGVLUG & SGVHAK but that's GREAT to hear.

Will do my best to show up to both support & hopefully have a mic to
contribute for the evening.

cheers,
--miguel
