[VicPiMakers SG] 15 Jan SG meeting notes

[Deid Reimer]

Hi,

Sorry this answer took so long.  First time I have had decent connectivity.

I agree tracks/streams are a good idea and not very many though.  We are
still a pretty small group, and given our current choices for where to
meet this may be a good thing.

I think too many tracks will put a large load on the 5 or so core members.
