Did you check out KWLUG?

Those guys put together a really great organization and regular, good 
quality presentations.

I miss going to them in person, then to the get together for drinks / 
snacks afterwards.

They're having presentations on MuseScore and another on 
containerization Monday at 7pm EDT.


Alas, I'm in a different time zone now and it's hard to attend those 
ones. Their mailing list is pretty active though, and a great resource.

Someone popped in to answer a question there recently, turns out he was 
a member, *and* the developer of the software in question (Docker Swarm 
to Kubernetes config converter).  That was awesome!


I have been joining in on the VLUG (Victoria LUG) meetings. They have 
monthly meetings of around a dozen people and are interesting.

Also, occasionally log into the BALUG (Bay Area LUG) for a chat.  Rick 
Moen of TLDP (The Linux Documentation Project) is quite involved in that 
one and has reached out to invite us to attend.


Thanks for your reply, Znoteer, appreciate it.
