[sword-devel] SWORD Virtual Coffee/Tea (Using Jitsi)

[Tobias Klein]

Hi all,

So ... here comes the link for tomorrow, Sunday 18th, 9 PM CEST.

Let's give it a try with Jitsi!

https://meet.jit.si/SWORDVirtualCoffee/Tea

I am suggesting to structure our conversation by using the "Lean Coffee" 
method:
1) After some initial chit-chat, we will collect topics in the beginning 
of our call.
2) We will prioritize them using a quick vote.
3) Discuss each topic one by one with a timebox assigned (10 minutes). 
At the end of the timebox we decide whether to continue with the same 
topic or jump to the next.

I'll share an easy to use web-based board with you in the beginning of 
the call!
I suggest you to already think about some of the things you may want to 
talk about :)

Looking forward to meeting you!

Have a good journey, Troy and stay safe!

All the best,
Tobias
