[TriLUG] May 14 - Creating Embedded Linux Stenography + Elections!

[Maryam Abkar via TriLUG]

moving off of meetup is something we have seriously considered in the
steering committee, we hesitate to do so simply because we worry it may
inhibit newer members from finding us, particularly those who newer to the
open source space. Meetup is rather well known aggregator.  We are open to
alternatives however.
