<br>
MediaAlpha has offered its facilities to host in-person meetings, if and when those become feasible again. Until then, we can hold virtual meetings, I imagine. Does anyone have an opinion about the favored technology for doing that?<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to get the inestimable Randal Schwartz to give a talk at SPUG. He's living in the greater Seattle area lately, and I expect he has plenty to teach us. But maybe you do as well, dear reader! Would you like to give a talk? Let me know about it, or tell the list if you like.<br>
<br>
I look forward to hearing more from the members!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
CCH<br>
