[VicPiMakers SG] Vic Pi Makers Presentations

[Greg H]

Hi Deid

For the Pi group, I don't have an IoT topic to present. Most of my hobby
time has been going towards containers (kubernetes in particular) and some
python programming. I'd love to build a kubernetes cluster using RPi's, but
the cost is larger than my hobby budget (much cheaper to spin up VMs in a
cloud somewhere).

So I'm not sure how this fits into the Pi group? I certainly could present
on more python topics, but I don't have anything IoT related at the moment.

Any suggestions on how to make this work for the group?

Cheers,
Greg
