Don't put your taxes off till the last second because we've got at least 
2 presentations for this months meeting.  With the upcoming release of 
Ubuntu 16.04LTS on the 21st many people will be using systemd for the 
first time, Todd Millecam will give us a look inside the controversial 
init daemon.

Ed Nicholson will cover the Atom editor as well as the Electron 
framework that it's built on.
