[plug] HACK day today

[Nick Bannon]

Hi Harry, all! Yes, indeed, there's a regularly scheduled PLUG Hack
Afternoon, starting now. Details below if anyone's on their way along
in person.

We usually use UCC's BBB instance for hybrid/online meetings, but Harry's
just fired up a Jitsi session for remote chat, which should be fine as
well, let's try it.

Nick.
