Re: Will your Community Group meet during TPAC 2016?

All,

I really like seeing the interest and Dan's suggestions!

And I personally like the idea of having 2 half-days instead of 1 entire day. This could really help some people already booked on just one of those days to attend the other day.

@Danbri, given the fact that "Digital Publishing has requested Monday/Tuesday", do you want to go head and make an official request for Thursday/Friday mornings before it's too late? (hopefully it's still ok) Then we'll have to make it real :-)

Best,
Alexandre
