What time is the meeting tomorrow? I should be able to join. I'm not in the Slack channel though, do I need an invitation to join?

I'm a CPA (accountant) who has also been an avid linux user for over a decade, so maybe I have a good blend of skills and interests to be of service. I've been following the mailing list for a few years (has it really been that long?) but I've never been to a meeting before. I realize that means I'm not a known/trusted member of the community, but I'm not interested in handling money, just volunteering my skills. I can help with/take on the bookkeeping or tax filings if necessary, or other finance related questions. >> >> Happy to provide more information or answer any questions! >> >> Nick >> >> On Thu, Apr 21, 2022, at 09:48, J C Nash wrote: >>> Agenda for Linux Ottawa Board meeting 2022-4-25 19:00 >>> >>> Virtual meeting open to Linux-Ottawa list members.
