[TriLUG] Oct 10 - Interfacing Bluetooth devices with Linux in Python

[Greg Brown via TriLUG]

That is a bummer about the recording.  I have an interest in a bluetooth
project using Adafruit boards and a Pi W, or, at least I think that is the
correct combination of hardware for what I'm looking for.  Too bad I can't
fly back from Texas for this one.
