    • Facebook thread will be started to organize.
• AvExpo Presentation:
  • Discussed whether the LUG will do a presentation at Avalon Expo this year.
  • Noted that the current presentation has been used a few times, and some fresh content or slightly different focus would be good.
  • Opting not to do a presentation this show.
• Fall LUG Show
  • Discussed whether the LUG will do another show of its own this year.
