Hey--I think I can actually make it to this mounting. I showed my face once at a meeting a couple of months ago, but haven't been able to come by again since. What time should I plan to show up (if I should plan to show up)? I'm interested in learning how to contribute to the codebase too, so I don't mind hacking on things if not enough people show up to do one of your above plans. --Benny On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 1:54 PM, max b <maxb.personal(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hey, Max. I could be there anytime after 1130 (an hour from now onward).
