[Swlug] Remote SWLUG on Jitsi tonight Tuesday 21 June 2022 at 7pm BST

[Huw Pearce]

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the official openSUSE upgrade link. By following it rather 
than another link that came up on an Internet search I have now 
successfully upgraded from openSUSE Leap 15.3 to 15.4. Lesson learnt use 
official documentation not other documentation.

Kind  regards,

Huw
