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

[Adam Sweet]

It's been pointed out that I forgot about the UK transition to daylight 
savings and British Summer Time. So the meeting starts at 19:30 BST, not 
GMT. Either way it'll 19:30 UK local time, with the talk at 20:30.

Facepalm.
