Plenty of projects going on tonight, but not a lot of UniSFAns...

Blair and I were able to snapshot and restore the unisfa-koha VM through
the proxmox interface, so then we went ahead with software upgrades.
It's now running Debian 9.6 (stretch) and Koha 18.11.

So - next time?
I'd be keen to treat it as a scheduled "Library meeting", a la Sunday
20180527-1400 - any appetite for one of those over the coming holidays?
