[EdLUG] What piques your interest?

[Tai Kedzierski]

Hi Dick

That would be grand ! I personally am piqued by the InfluxDB and Telegraf
components, and I'm sure a hardware showcasing coupled in would be very
welcome :)

Currently I have April and May that I would like to suggest filling, or
could be June if you needed more prep time?

Cheers

Tai
