There were no presentations given at the meeting but there was
discussion about car pooling to the AZLOCO/PLUG installation Festival in
Tempe. There is plenty of interest. A second topic discussed was the new
browser, Brave, being released by former Mozilla CEO that comes with its
own ad blocker. However, it apparently allows its own ads (to make
money) to be displayed.

Rex Bouwense reported on his activities at the AZLOCO/PLUG installfest
that he attended on 16 January. The Group now has access to a projector
and a server compliments of AZLOCO, Todd Cole, and Rex Bouwense.
Two suggestions for presentations were made by Louie Garcia. A detective
from the police department has extensive knowledge of forensic security
and there is a Homeland Security representative (from Bisbee) that can
give a presentation on communication. He will work on making that happen.
The meeting was adjourned and the group reconvened at the IHOP for some
food and additional Linux/FOSS talk as well as topics that strayed
beyond that area.
