 As per our new normal, we will utilize jitsi for our meeting.
-This month we have two talks, a main one and a follow-up to last month.
+This month John Nash will lead a discussion on managing photo / image collections.
-The talk will be an energetic op-ed on the failure of design methodologies from Tug. Prepare to be entertained/appalled/etc. I do not know the details and think the mystery is more of a draw than the details would be.
+Some of the issues involved:
-The second one will be much shorter and is a bit of a follow-up on the talk from last month driven by the post-meeting chat on conferencing gear.
