[BATS] Jan Meeting Notes

[Jo Claxton]

Sorry I couldn't make it to BATs last night!

Just wanted to mention there is a FixtheL8 workgroup that meets once a
month if anyone from BATs would like to join.
The next one is Feb 13 - I am not sure if it will be Zoom or in-person.
I'll be in Australia and will miss that one but hope to make the March
meeting.

If you would like to join the FixtheL8 group, email Nick  --

Thanks,
Jo
