[tpm] February meeting

[Alex Beamish]

Hi All,

Thanks to the half dozen folks who attended our free-form January meeting.
We ended up chatting about UTF-8, partly because it's one of those topics
that I need to learn more about. Thanks to newcomer Bob K from San Diego
who dropped in -- nice to have some out-of-town folks visiting.

Fulko also voiced his dissatisfaction with gitlab and git in general, so we
discussed that for a while as well. Git's a weird tool, but it does work
well.

Anyway, I got some good pointers on how to proceed on my UTF-8 challenge,
and I'm going to put myself on the line to deliver a talk about UTF-8 as
part of February's meeting (nothing like a deadline for motivation). If
someone else has a talk they'd like to give, terrific! I am not going to
have enough to fill out a 90 minute meeting.

Fulko, if you have some pearls of wisdom to deliver about git or gitlab,
we're all ears. :)

Cheers,

Alex

PS I have updated the meetup.com event to be an on-line event (complete
with link!) for the foreseeable future. Our next meeting will be Thursday,
February 25. We'll get together in person when it's safe to drink beer
together -- looking forward to it!
