Re: [Discuss] Tonight - BLU Desktop GNU/Linux SIG Meeting - CryptoParty - Weds, Feb 4, 2015

Will,

Given the widespread failures on the T and the massive gridlock which 
tied up roads for hours last night, I'd like to know if there's any 
chance to reschedule the meeting.

2015-02-04 Thread Will Rico
I just realized I replied to Bill and not to the list.  Bill, sorry you're
seeing this reply twice:

The show must go on!  But we can definitely do a repeat event later in the
year.  Also, the Pirate Party, from whence our main speaker hails, tends to
do these with some frequency. See here:
