[colug-432] Soliciting January meeting ideas

[Bill Schwanitz]

I do a fair amount of scripting and would be happy to lend a hand.

My main languages for scripting:

bash
ruby

I know a little bit about a few others. Init system wise, I’m mainly familiar with the init.rd style init script construction. I’ve been starting to look at systemd/others but understand the concepts.

Is it worth having a more generic meeting topic “scripting basics” or “scripting 101” ?
