[kwlug-disc] [kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday: Gitlab, Swap Meet (Sept 2018)

[Paul Nijjar]

We'll be doing this at the meeting space (283 Duke St). If you can
help move stuff from that location to Computer Recycling (or Kwartzlab
or wherever) then that would be very helpful. I can help load the
truck.
