Dear all, On Saturday we have a minimalistic devroom with an interesting agenda:
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/minimalistic_languages/ we need one or two volunteers to operate/monitor the video/audio recording and two volunteers to help me with the room itself (get speakers started, keep people out of the room when full). You can E-mail me here or privately. Pj. On Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 07:36:23PM +0100, Pjotr Prins wrote: > Hello Guilers & Guix! > > Another heads up.
