November Call (Working Call)
by Emily Lovell 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hi all, Based on the poll, I've scheduled our November call for Friday, November 15 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 4pm UTC 🌟 This will be a working call where we dig into some of the action items we've converged on. (Resource development, etc.) There's enough of us now (🎉) that I’m sharing an invite to add the event to your calendar, rather than adding people manually. But, we can check-in during our next call if people have suggestions for a better alternative. Add it to your calendar: https://calendar.app.google/hPa4CcfwgViZU9iR7 Zoom link to join: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/99885992323?pwd=pqjDGafP5idKnhBaB7ErqQRBTIZe6V.1 Hope to see you soon ~ Emily * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Emily Lovell, Ph.D. (she/her) Postdoctoral Fellow Open Source Program Office (OSPO) University of California, Santa Cruz
