Every Wednesday at 2:30 PM ET, folks from the IDRC, Fluid community, and others get together to learn and chat about some introductory topics as a form of knowledge sharing. Users who are remote typically join via Vidyo. |
To join the conversation please login to our Vidyo conference in the fluid_standup room. You may need to install the Vidyo app on your computer or portable device before joining.
