by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, After a comedy of email errors, the meeting it actually today.. seriously I just checked the calendar for the fourth time... Time/Date: March 14th, 2019 @ 7PM. Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (Rm 331) Topic: Containerized applications Appimage, snaps, flatpack... I plan to talk about what they are and what they do and compare/contrast the different technologies used to make applications distribution agnostic. Snacks and Refreshments will be provided and afterwards well head off for dinner to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Yes. The meeting is on Thursday. It's been a long week. My daughter got her tonsils out and it's been a couple of very late nights... Sorry for the confusion. Tim.

14th... 21st... ? I'm certainly interested in the app encapsulation opportunities. Definite opportunities for use at the radio station.
