====== Things to change when a DLUG meeting has happened ======

===== The location that's just had a meeting =====


==== Work out the next date of the next meeting at the location that's just been held ====

If today's in the month of the meeting that's just been held,
this will give the date of the meeting in two months' time.
Just paste it to a bash(1) prompt.

<code bash>
set `date '+%Y %m'`
y=$1 m=${2#0}
m=$((m + 2))
y=$((y + (m > 12)))
m=$(((m - 1) % 12 + 1))
((m % 2)) && day=Wed || day=Tue
seq 7 | xargs -I @ date -d $y-$m-@ '+%Y-%m-%d %a' | grep $day\$
