[Baypiggies] This month's meeting: Infrastructure Night

[Jeff Fischer]

Hi everyone,
 One minor correction to the talks this month: the first talk (by Moshe
Zadka) is the "NColony Process Supervisor". My auto-correct had changed
NColony to Colony. Sorry for the error.

 If you would like more information, please see the NColony website at
https://ncolony.org/en/latest/.

Regards,
Jeff
