[Wolves] Talk: Greg Kurtzer and R. Leigh Hennig from the Rocky Linux Project

[Adam Sweet]

As a reminder, this is next Wednesday. Please sign up via Meetup.com so 
we know whether we're going to need to pay for one of the Zoom large 
meetings addons.

If you really don't want to sign up, I'll post here a list here in 
advance with the Zoom details in and I'll be posting them on the LUG 
event page below on the day.

If you haven't already, please retweet/share the following links. I've 
been doing everything I can think of to promote the event and I could do 
with your help.
