I'd like to work on this project during the global sprint later this week. Is this team working on east coast time (EDT)?

[drammock]

@cdersky I'm on Pacific daylight time, but I'm just a humble volunteer... not sure about the leaders' time zones.

[josmas]

That's great news!
Abby is on EDT and I am on BST === GMT+1.

An additional gihub repo for this project can be found at badgr-client. Labels as 'good first task' and 'hints provided' should be best to get started.
