*All* are welcome, developers and authors, experienced and novice. There is no
agenda and no schedule. Come late, leave early, drop-in, drop-out. If you are
present, then you are implicitly available to help someone with questions, even
if you are working on something yourself. The rest of us may lurk and/or join
in. We will use break-out rooms if a subgroup wants to use screen-sharing, run
a discussion, work on a targeted project, or help somebody get started
one-on-one. The model is the hotel lobby after dinner at a workshop, but you
provide your own contraband.
I also want to remind you that Barb Ericson and I will be running a workshop this week. Each afternoon at 3:00 Easternl we’ll meet for about 90 minutes to cover various aspects of Runestone Academy. You are welcome to join for one or all.
