[sf-lug] Ended Monday Evening meetings!; web site updated, ...

Per various "discussions", etc.
Sounds much more like a "done deal" than "discussions" or up for debate,
so ...

web site updated.
Made some other mostly minor tweaks/updates/corrections.
If y'all want to tweak it further, y'all have folks with requisite
access - and more than just me - so feel free to do so.
As for longer/different times Sunday - I thus far saw nothing definitive
on that, so, if/when that's decided, y'all can manage to get the
web site updated and update relevant folks, etc.

And don't forget to let relevant folks know about calendar/schedule
updates, so they can appropriately reflect such changes in their
tracking thereof.
