Hi, all! Final reminder! Please get in touch soon if you wish to partake. We still have plenty of slots free...
@Those who have gotten in touch: i will send you the exact address and whatnot within the next two weeks. The timeframe is not yet set, but i expect it will be more or less a full-day thing. The preferred activity at the moment seems to be a Fossil code sprint.
