Regrets

 * ..regerts (ruhguetz!) .. Regrets, I'll be out of town, not able to make it. Would we ever be able to share 's presenting desktop PC screen (up front) to a live Zoom and/or YouTube live feed or something in the future? I know how to set those up if we want to go those routes. Then fellow group members who've moved away eg  ..can still drop in virtually! Eh @  ? -From Peter {a.k.a. Vid2vid (talk | contribs)} 01:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
