[SGVLUG] Reminder: SGVLUG Meeting on 10/11: How to bring a project to Open Source

[Lan Dang via SGVLUG]

Reminder that we have an SGVLUG meeting on Thursday at Du-Par's.
I'd like this to be a discussion where we share our experiences and
find concrete ways to prepare our projects for open source.
Crossposting to SGVHAK since we may also talk about the JPL Open Source Rover, which was released to the public back in late July.

- Building and sustaining a community
