3xBO55 is now official

We’ve had another meetup tonite of what I previously called Usrah Linux. It was not like our ordinary session since we were not there to talk about anything technical, but to actually discuss directions and plans for our meetup group. To make it easier for me and saving this writeup from being a draft forever like many others, I’ll just do a quick copy and paste of what I took note of our previous discussion there:
