ScotLUG :: November Lineup, Some updates to meeting structure

[Kenny Coyle]

Definitely.

Thanks all for attending on Thursday.

We had some great discussion, with a set of really good lightning talks.

Thanks again to:

   - Andrew Smillie for his talk on BeyondCorp.
   - Graeme Thomson for his talk on RFID and the Nintendo Switch.
   - Dejice Jacob or his talk (and research) on Automatic Loop optimisation
   in Python.
   - William Nelson for his talk and discussion points on Self-Hosted
   Storage.

Given how well the evening went, we'll be doing another set of lightning
talks before summer.

Thanks,
Kenny.
