I am hoping others are also craving some in-person interaction and will join me at this venue. I'll aim for 18:30. If they happen to have a mobile device and can join the jitsi meeting, then we will join the rest online. > Bottom line, should our assumption be that we cannot rely on your > contributing to a jitsi discussion about CentOS? I will if someone else with a mobile device shows up and chooses to join the jitsi discussion. This follows the previous discussion ideas about alternating online and in-person meetings. I can't imagine that I'm the only one in this position. The dynamics are different in person, and I am seeking that type of interaction because we haven't had that for 2.5 years. > Katie: Will you be joining the jitsi meeting to contribute your piece?
