[VicPiMakers SG] 30 Aug SG meeting notes

[Lynn Palmer]

Hi Craig;


It was fun.  Great to see everyone, and great to enjoy Deid's cool deck.


My discussion on 23 October will be on Circuit Python and Mu.  Also, I think Gordo is going to talk about Flask.


Looks like it's going to be a fun fall :)


Lynn
