[wellylug] A little project....

[Lindsay Hunter]

I am proposing that we postpone any action on the 'little project' until
after the next WLUG meeting on the 12 August.  That means a Saturday session
perhaps on the 17 August at a venue I will arrange, where we will take the
next step in developing the project aimed at a package we can offer based
around Linux thin clients from or similar to the 2020 Trust offerings.

Any advance on that?  Anyone volunteering to be the convener/team leader etc
if that is useful.  I am perhaps not sufficiently technically able.

Regards,

Lindsay Hunter
