>>
>>

>> In terms of plans for 2019, EdLUG will continue to meet on a monthly

>> only be available every two months. As such we could alternate EdLUG
>> meetups by having a talk one month and an informal meetup the following
>> month, etc.
>>
>>
>>
>> Other topics discussed included widening the scope of EdLUG to include
>> all open source software and technology. This would allow us to use Linux
>> as the basis for discussion, but not be limited to solely to this topic.
>> Should this occur, a name change for the meetup would need to be
>> considered. Also, changing the format of the website to simplify its
>> operation was mentioned. Kris suggested using Discord which would allow for
>> more people to participate online.

>>
>> Feedback is welcome from everyone, please feel free to reply to this

>> Hopefully see you all in December :)
