[chiglug] LUG infra hacking

[Rob Dux]

Hi everyone,

I'd prefer a Saturday but am open to a weeknight. So I'll propose April
7th, 14th or 21st which look good to me. Morning or afternoon. Is 2pm a
generally accepted meeting time? Would anyone be interested in an earlier
time, say 10 or 11 am?

Thanks,
Rob
