[EdLUG] December meeting - On day $N of Xmas, FOSS gave to me...

Tue Dec 7 23:15:14 UTC 2021

I'm not sure I'd go as far as calling what I presented a "slide" but if
anyone wants to take another look at it you can find it here:

and I'd certainly be interested in seeing slides from others presentations.

Seasons Greetings everyone!
