Bummed I missed ... I"m a VERY old 'regular' member of the group
(back in the pcc days), gone for years, and somehow got a ping
(maybe thru slack ?) on this topic and meeting.<br clear="none">
There was no calender link (time, zoom) in the slack, so I was
figuring I'd get an email (like this one) to the list.<br clear="none">
Then getting this last night from you Lan... i realized I blew it !
missed this interesting topic discussion.....<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
But I did not see an email with the event ANNOUNCEMENT ?? I
checked spam and trash and at least i dont THINK I got the event
email ! (but I see below you did send one to the entire list ?)<br clear="none">

I dont do facebook. Dont do instagram. dont do meetup. DO slack
(poorly), and email of course. I know the website is not updated
(and understand...major pain) <br clear="none">

Anyway.. thanks so much for organizing this group - I miss scale -
