[presentations] Re: November Topic?

[Tom Hull <thull2@xxxxxxx>]

While we're planning the meeting presenation, can Dale give a very short
(10-15 minutes) report on the webserver/webdev project status?

As of the last meeting, Dale had a machine and was tasked with putting it
together. We can discuss more details on webdev if needed.
