Conference synchonization[edit]

This meetup will occur in the final stretch of the hackathon. We'll have some substantial overlap with 7 other meetups ( Virtual (Europe/Africa), Oxford, UK, Rio de Janeiro, BR, Mannheim, DE, Virtual (Americas), Seattle, WA, and San Francisco, CA), so should have some good opportunities to share our projects ideas and results. EpochFail is working with these groups in order to come to a consensus of when we'll get into a conference call say "hi" and share ideas at the beginning of our day.
