A makeup session which took place today at noon with 4 participants went very
well. We had a mix of people who had read all, some, or none of chapter 1,
and everyone came away feeling like the discussion was time well spent.
(Two people were available on Tuesday night but we didn't end up meeting.
Nevertheless, I intend to keep showing up at the appointed time so that we
accumulate momentum and so that participants can have confidence that if you
put in the time to read up, someone will be there to discuss it with you.)
Google Plus Hangouts seems to be working well for us. Join us in the
#lucy_dev IRC channel for connection instructions.
The next chapter is fairly long, so as discussed during today's session, we're
going to break it in half.
