Agenda - what would you like to do for our virtual board game night in December? Do we want a typical 1 hour slot on our usual 2nd Thursday schedule, since there's only so long we can stare at screens?  Or do we want to move to a Friday night and have a longer window, as we would often have historically done in-person?
Agenda - KLUG elections, PCIG nominations. Tim will present briefly on the Alexa skill that he updated over his break, described as "it is a vocabulary word of the day skill which now displays output nicely on an alexa echo show".

There is no moderator when using this software, so if we get invaded we will have to bail and figure out a different session ID and then also definitely use a password, that'd go out by email and/or wiki update ASAP.

Agenda - KLUG elections, PCIG nominations. Tim will present briefly on the Alexa skill that he updated over his break, described as "it is a vocabulary word of the day skill which now displays output nicely on an alexa echo show".

Anything else you want to see on the agenda? Let Tim or Tina know.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

We need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2019. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
