Hi All!
A few of us are getting together to do work sprinting for Open Source Bridge. It’s a beautiful day, so our plan is to occupy the patio at Ristretto (3808 N Williams Ave) until my battery runs out, and then enjoy a pint at the Fifth Quadrant in the early afternoon.
We hope you’re having a lovely day. Come join us if you’d like to work on a few things for the conference, or if you’d just like to hang out on this fine day.
I’ll head over to Ristretto at 11am.
