For today’s technical discussions we’ll be getting some github hands-on best practices advice from some experts at ETE Reman who use it as part of their development workflow. We’re planning to use this to establish a contribution guide and process, so github neophytes like myself can stay out of the swamp a little better. We… Continue reading Topics for Tech Meeting 2021-10-29

Below, I’ll talk more about that and about how you can join our weekly technical call (please… Continue reading Technical Calls Invitation & Updates
