Hi fellow =E2=80=99Steppers,

we had our monthly meeting on Saturday, the recordings are here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D618e0qHJZV8

it was very interesting, Greg showed some new apps and Joe did show his =
accomplishments working on NextBSD.

It was a little sad that only three of us took part in the meeting. Why =
is that?

- Is it because the meeting is too often, e.g. monthly? Would you have =
attended if it were only bi-monthly like some time ago?
- Is it because the time of the year, I mean maybe you=E2=80=99re rather =
outside during summer time, enjoying the nice weather?
- Is it because the meeting is to broadly announced now, should I stop =
posting announcements on reddit?
- Is it because the meeting is to long, should we limit it to two or =
maybe one hour?

what was your reason not to attend? Please let me know.

kind regards,

	Lars
