Hi all

Firstly, the meeting on Wednesday was great, I still have a lot to learn
about Home Assistant, (home automation). Thanks to everyone that came along.

On more pressing news, if you're running Arch or EndeavorOS (as I am on one
system) or Debian testing please upgrade right away.

Happy Easter !
