[wplug-board] WPLUG Board meeting 17 Sep

[John Lewis]

I am willing to forward you message to the HackPittsburgh list to let
them hear your complaints because having my meeting interrupted was very
annoying, but let me get this straight.

I would rather quit WPLUG entirely than go to another meeting at the
Wilkins School Community center! As bad as HackPittsburgh is, it spiked
our membership roles by 66% at its peak over the course of the last term.

I don't think the Point State collage is a good place either because the
class room plugs voltage is too low. I can't get a Raspberry Pi to turn
on and I can barely charge my laptop.

I am developing a top card, introduction to Raspberry Pi presentation
for next month, which is good because you have not identified or secured
your potential speaker as of yet to my knowledge.
