[kwlug-disc] [kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday, 7pm: Ardour, Dev Containers (July 2023)

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

Hi everyone,

We do have a restaurant meetup scheduled for Monday July 17, I just did 
not get the location to Paul in time for the regular announcement. :(


So, Monday July 17 at 7pm we will be meeting at "The Coop Wicked 
Chicken", which is a new pub/chicken place in downtown Kitchener.

(They are a chicken place, but their menu has veg and beef options, so 
it is not just chicken.)

They are located in the corner of the building at the King/Queen 
intersection in downtown. I also just added it to OpenStreetMap.

(If you read this in the next few minutes, you might not see the marker 
on the map. That should get re-rendered soon, because I did literally 
just add it :) )


As always if you would like to come, please RSVP me or dinner at kwlug.org 
so that I have number for making a reservation. But RSVP is not 
required, and you are always welcome at the last minute.

See some of you tomorrow, and some of you next week.

Andrew
