Tue Nov 14 00:19:20 UTC 2017

              Hidden, we are free:
                 Free to speak, to free ourselves,
              Free to hide no more.

Hi!  We had our weekly network-team meeting this week, but a lot of folks
were busy with travel or healthcare or other important things.  So, we had
a little but awesome meeting.

We love new people at these meetings!  Come to the next one!
