Remote Participation
Remote participation may be very spotty. The room has no speakerphone. The current plan is to place a cell phone in the center of the room on speaker and connect to the Webex phone conference number. This is the best we may be able to offer. In person participation is recommended.

We will be using WebEx for remote participation. If your running a Linux variant, you may need to follow these directions:

WebEx Conference Details
The webex sessions will NOT be recorded. Because there is a lack of a speakerphone in the room, quality of the audio may be poor. We will try a variety of things to get remote participation functional, but in person attendance is recommended.
