[PLUG-Devel] Quick note - looks like November 1st meeting is canceled

[Dazed_75]

Ed, I would like to play along with this.  Mostly as an observer but this
is the first thing that has drawn my interest.  I'm afraid I might not be
much help though.  I see it as a great learning opportunity as I have
probably never done more than 30-40 lines of python.
