We'll be doing most of our meetings in chat (or at least with as much substantive information as possible in chat). If you are at one of our regular meetings and feel you're unable to follow what's happening, please let us know and we'll do our best to do better. We don't have a budget to pay for transcribers, but we'll do what we can to make what we do accessible short of that. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
