Presentations and Q/A session about the technologies we have chosen and how the implementation is progressing.

  • Date/time: 1st Feb 2021 13:00-14:00
  • Location: Zoom meeting
    • Meeting ID: 649 471 0998
    • Passcode: 597554

The meeting is intended as an informal workshop, with a mixture of talks and time for questions and discussion. The schedule is a rough guide to try to fit all the talks into an hour. Timings will vary on the day, some parts will take longer, some parts will be shorter. We can have some quick questions after each talk, and then a longer Q/A session after the main meeting if people are interested.
