[melbourne-pug] In search of a convenor and talks for the next MPUG meeting (Monday, 1 April, at 6pm)

[Andrew Walker]

Hi MPUG,

Given that there are still no talks as of 6:45pm on the Saturday before MPUG, and Monday is a public holiday, can I suggest that we consider cancelling for this month? If someone has a talk, I'm happy to convene the meeting, but I'm really not in a position to present anything at the moment.

Andrew
