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.
