Cancelling Monthly Meet for March (12-03-2023)

Hi everyone,

>> KanchiLUG Monthly meet is going to be held on upcoming Mar 12, 2023 through an online meeting platform called Jitsi meet at 16:00 IST.

No speakers sent their willingness to share in this Monthly meet for march.

Of course other coordinators offered that they can take any linux topic for this meet. But the actual purpose of the Monthly meet is for learners to share their learnings not the co-ordinators themselves.

Also I am not available this weekend, you might have seen this in the call for hosts mail. That mail too didn’t get any response.

So I hereby cancel this Monthly meeting for the Month of march on Mar 12, 2023

Due to unavailability of hosts we cannot even conduct a weekly discussion this week

Have a fun and great weekend everyone!
