[melbourne-pug] December date; November What's New

[Javier Candeira]

Hi everyone.

A reminder that we need a speaker for November's What's New. I'll be
writing the announcement for the session tonight. Please come forward!

Also, about the December meeting, it will still be on December 1st,
still at Stewart St. I'll announce that at the end of the November
meeting, to avoid confusion.

Cheers,

Javier
