Dear all,

Greetings! I hope this email finds you and your family in good health.

We are gearing up to organize another 24hr. Transcontinental Meet-‘n-Greet, celebrating the philosophy of Karl Popper. So, we intend to continue the tradition of organizing this event on a yearly basis during the second week-end of January. In 2024, it falls on January 13. It will start at 3:00pm GMT (London, UK). We are in the middle of finalizing the program, and we will let you know as soon as the details have been confirmed.

But this time, we would like to organize it a bit differently. We would like to start a new tradition of having you all assist us with the programming. We would like all of you to take a more active role in the organizing and running of these Meet 'n Greets. Since this is the first time that we are using this new format, please bear with us. Or even better, join the organizing team. (If interested, send an email to ourkar...@gmail.com.)

Either way, I realize this is all last minute, but please send an email ASAP to ourkar...@gmail.com if you would like to use one of the timeslot of the 2024 Karl Popper Meet 'n Greet - 1-2hrs. - for a conversation on a topic of your choice related to the philosophy of Karl Popper.

We would also like to take this opportunity to invite you all to, if you have not done so already, join the googlegroup, ourkar...@googlegroups.com. We created this googlegroup in 2020 for organizational purposes, but we have done little with it so far. There are tons of things that anyone can do to help with spreading the message of Karl Popper's philosophy. Check out the following Doc if you are interested: https://tinyurl.com/3xtu7yfe

One idea for which we could use your programming and database management expertise is the creation of a Dashboard-type Popper website:https://tinyurl.com/49wmfry9

We are looking forward to getting your suggestions and feedback.

Feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested in learning more about Karl Popper and his philosophy and/or who would like to help with the programming and running of the Meet 'n Greets, the googlegroup or the creation and management of the Popper-type dashboard.

My very best, Margaretha H.
