Great. How does next week sound? Somewhere along the Expressway seems to
be central enough for everyone, but I'm open so suggestion.
Also, while I have everyone's attention, I've been working on revamping
the site. I grabbed a free template (because I'm a geek and not a
designer) and put together this Jekyll site: https://okcjug.org/
We can change the template, etc, but I think I prefer the static
approach. You wouldn't believe all of the spam/hack changes made to the
content over the years. I've tried to clean it up, but there's likely
more still there...
