SUMMARY:Morning tech and coffee
DESCRIPTION:Hi neighbors! Let’s gather together\, share ideas\, and talk tech. \nSince a lot of us are in permanent WFH mode\, we thought it would be nice to have a reason to leave our apartments in the morning and interact with real live friendly faces in our neighborhood. \nThis is a host-free event with no specific agenda. Let’s meet up and chat in the morning: \n\nWhat are you working on?\nWhat tech are you learning?\nWhat tech questions do you have?\nWould you like some accountability to help you push ahead?\n… and more!\n\nBe sure to be respectful of our gathering place: purchase a coffee\, tip your baristas\, keep the place clean\, etc. \nLooking forward to seeing you!!
