TL;DR: the meeting and talk scheduled for last month will happen tomorrow. You will remember that last month's meeting was cancelled because of snow. Before you call GTALUG a bunch of wimps, note that Ryerson closed for snow. It looks as if the talks has been rescheduled for tomorrow. I haven't seen any announcement of this, but it is on our front page <https://gtalug.org/>. | From: hi--- via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | To: announce@gtalug.org | Cc: hi@gtalug.org | Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 09:02:47 -0500 (EST) | Subject: [GTALUG] [GTALUG-Announce] GTALUG Meeting Feburary 12th at 7:30pm | <https://gtalug.org/meeting/2019-02/> | | # FPGAs for Fun, Acceleration, and Profit! w/ Chris Tyler | | Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have moved from being expensive, exotic | prototyping tools to affordable mainstream devices for hardware customization | and acceleration.
