Hey @acabunoc!

I will for sure be there on 6/2-3 to answer questions and review any PRs! I'll be working on getting those other checkboxes completed 👍

[schae234]

You are crushing it @acabunoc!! 🎆 💥 👍

Scripts + the github api help :)

Shhhh, don't give away those secrets!

Hey :) I would like to contribute to this project, how can we coordinate? (I don't think I can stay at the event for the whole 2 days)

[schae234]

Hi @cmassimo!

Awesome! So good to hear! What time zone are you in? I'll be at our St Paul site 9-5 Central Time both days, maybe we can overlap through video chat. Otherwise I do plan on laying out some issues on github sometime early next week (currently a decent sized chunk of this idea is implemented in another project, which I want to fork it off into its own thing).

[cmassimo]

Ok, I'll probably be there on friday 9-5 (CEST) but I'll keep an eye on github in the meanwhile.

Hey @bharathi3p, just got into the lab! I should be in the gitter chat room all day! Working on opening some issues on github right now.
