[volunteers] Kyle Rankin Speaking at SVLUG Next Week

[freepalestin @dslextreme.com]

Margaret,

SVLUG website has not been updated to reflect Kyle Rankin's talk.

Nor has it been updated to show no installfests for March and May as Ed has
stepped down as coordinator and David Eisenberg will be out of town.

I don't remember my login and password nor the steps to update the website -
sorry 'bout that - that's what I get for not using what Rick took the time
to explain to me.
