I plan to give a presentation on an RSS reader, as a follow up topic from a discussion a few months ago, using Proxmox to host it.
We had a great meeting last month. Thank you to everyone who participated.

Another topic was programming with C and bash on Linux.
The script command was mentioned as a way to record your Linux commandline history.
