Good evening, everyone! I've posted the minutes for Tuesday's WPLUG 
Board of Directors meeting: 
http://www.wplug.org/wiki/WPLUGBoard/Meeting-20130618[1] 

There were two main highlights, and both involve Bitcoin, the open source 
digital currency that you've probably heard me talking about.

-WPLUG will begin accepting Bitcoin payments for membership dues and 
donations via Coinbase.com in the near future

-I have arranged for arranged for Daniel, founder of the [Bitcoin Users 
Meetup group[2]], to give an introductory presentation on Bitcoin at 
WPLUG's July GUM. We are going to move ahead with the "tin foil hat" theme 
I floated on the WPLUG-Plan mailing list.

On an unrelated note, I'm going to be finishing work on WPLUG's private 
instance of Tiny Tiny RSS[3], a news aggregator similar to the soon-to-be-
defunct Google Reader, later tonight or possibly tomorrow. When it's done, 
access will be limited to WPLUG members only.
