Sounds cool!
Alas, I was hoping to make it to the meeting, and had yet another item
land on my calendar ... was hoping to at least virtually make it for
early part of meeting ... then got busy with yet more stuff and forgot
until it was too late. Looks like I'll be quite busy next weekend
too, but things should back to "normal" (whatever that is) by
the following weekend (2nd weekend in October).
Oh, also, as I mentioned at 2021-09-19 Pi.BerkeleyLUG.com meeting,
Cafe Blue Door is open again ... so, I think too, per our discussion
on 2021-09-19 we can probably resume meetings at Cafe Blue Door
2021-10-10 ... and continuing also with virtual. Cafe Blue Door
does, however, have negligible outdoor seating ... but that may also
be considered a feature as we continue heading into Fall ...
wet and/or cold outside may make inside much preferable to outside.
At least we can hope we'll get rain.
