[EdLUG] EdLUG Meetup & Future Plans

Thu Jun 7 14:36:00 UTC 2018

Jan - just found a message in drafts that I never sent you to ask about
taking it over.... apologies, I had thought I was waiting on you. Didn't
find anything recent on the public list, but that could be a problem with
my search query.

I'll mail you offline on this.
