[VicPiMakers SG] Minutes from Jan SG meeting

[Craig Miller]

Hi All,

We had a good turn out last night with 9 people giving up their evening at
home to help set the course of the VicPiMakers (and Others) ship for the
next 6 months or so.

Please find my attempt at note taking below.

Thanks again for everyone's help in keeping the club running smoothly.
