The notes are super easy to follow and well-organized, thanks for this!

Justin is coming back to campus. Give a talk? plz?

Unfortunately I leave on Thursday, so I won't be here long enough to stay for a RITlug meeting. But I am open to a remote talk. I would prefer before spring break, because I will be moving $SOMEWHERE and starting a new job around then.

For the Week 7 Projects slot, I could introduce the FOSS@RIT Tech Team, what projects are included in this initiative, and how to get involved.

Figure out how to pass on the RITlug Twitter Account

There is a password for direct access, which should be documented.

However, I use Tweetdeck to manage the RITlug Twitter. It's possible to grant access to others through their personal Twitter accounts, and then you can manage it from https://tweetdeck.twitter.com. If I get a list of Twitter usernames from eboard, I can add them to the Tweetdeck shared account.

However, I make a humble request to retain tweeting access, as I occasionally retweet relevant Linux content for the LUG time-to-time.

@jwflory sorry for any confusion these public notes may have caused; I'll try to catch up with you shortly in DM. Nobody on e-board as far as I'm aware of uses twitter, I was just mentioning to new Eboard members that you had ownership of the twitter and that is something we need to be aware of down the road.

No problem. Let me know if anyone needs/wants access at any point.
