+The January 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 8th of
+January, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).
+
+This time we're being hosted by the
+lovely folk at [Cleo](https://meetcleo.com) in [their
+offices][cleo-venue], on Shoreditch High St. [Full venue and registration
+details are given below](#jan24registration).
+
+## Agenda
+
+### Sky Computing
+
+[Kevin Sedgley](https://unboxed.co/) says:
+
+> What comes after cloud computing? Cloud computing is convenient, ubiquitous and relatively cheap. But it also locks developers into proprietary solutions that make migrating to another provider or bringing your solutions back in-house difficult and expensive. If AWS, Google Cloud Computing, Azure and all the others are clouds, then we also need a sky. Researchers at Berkeley and other institutions have proposed sky computing: an interoperability layer that removes technological lock-in and enables multi cloud application development.
+
+## Afterwards
+
+When the talks come to an end we'll decamp to a local pub for some food, some
+drinks and some chat with your fellow attendees.
+
+Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more
+informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the
+meeting and covered by our [code of conduct](http://readme.lrug.org/#code-of-conduct).
+
+## Venue & Registration {#jan24registration}

+Prior to attending you should familiarise yourself with our
+[README](http://readme.lrug.org/) paying close attention to [the code of

+
