[VicPiMakers Projects] Pi Makers Presentations/Projects for Next Year

[Gordon M. Celesta]

I had wanted to include the Cloudflare Tunnel client as part of my ADS-B 
presentation but ran out of time.  That could be a half meeting 
presentation.

I've also been meaning to try QNX on a Pi 
(https://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/qnxeverywhere/com.qnx.doc.target_images/topic/qsti/qnxos_on_rpi.html).
