[EdLUG] Meeting Roundup

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hi Jan,

There was some talk at the meeting about pointing the URL to a
discord forum, but I'm not sure if it was a final decision or when
that would be ready.
In the meantime, if it's OK with everyone, I'd be happy to have a login
to the current site, and I can try to update the front page with details
of upcoming meetings.
Thanks,
Thomas
