[kwlug-disc] [kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday, 7pm: Ardour, Dev Containers (July 2023)

[Paul Nijjar]

As another update: Brent won't be able to present Ardour tomorrow, so
we will reschedule his presentation. Jason Paul should still be
presenting, and Jason Eckert has bravely volunteered a presentation on
Linux philosophy. I will update the website tonight, I hope. (Maybe I
will post the restaurant meetup too.)
