It's happening!

https://sudoroom.org/events/sudo-mesh-hackathon-tail-of-july-4th-weekend/

Please invite folks. Informally, we'll plan to bring the regular meshers together on this Saturday July 5th, but open up to a wider public audience July 6th and July 7th.

We can hold rolling "on-boarding" sessions to newcomers all day, this way folks can get informed about our current status, plugged in to our ongoing work and connected to the people and information to carry on their collaboration after the hackathon.

Jenny and I chatted briefly about three personas:
  1. Experienced Sudo Mesher
  2. Developer / Technical Person new to Sudo Mesh
  3. Community-Oriented Person new to Sudo mesh
