[VicPiMakers SG] Vic Pi Makers Presentations

[Deid Reimer]

Hi Greg,

Python is always welcome.  Kubernetes running on a Pi. Is also a good topic.

It was not my intention to limit presentations to IOT but to move the presentations towards Pi's and/or microcontrollers. 

Let's talk more at the steering group meeting. 

Thanks
