DCGLUG MEETS

Due to the current situation with regard to COVID-19 we have decided
to cancel all forthcoming in-person meetings. We are, however,
encouraging people to use Jitsi Meet for virtual video conference
rooms in which you can still maintain contact with others and enjoy a
good conversation from home.
