Re: [SLUG] Talk: Martin Gregory from Microsoft, Thursday August 12th

Just to clarify, the same as all our monthly meetings, this event is open to
non-SLUG-members and the general public also. If you're interested, please
come along. With Martin's permission, we'll also video the talk and make the
recording available afterward.

Cheers,
Jan.
