ACT Rules Workshop: March 19th

Hey everyone,

In the past few months, quite a few new members have joined the ACT Rules
Community Group. To help folks get started in the ACT community, we are
organizing an ACT Rules Workshop, on *Friday March 19th 15:00 - 17:30 CET*.
This workshop is intended for folks interested to get involved in ACT work.
You do not need to be a member of ACT Rules Community Group already to
join, although this meeting is intended for people looking to contribute in
some way. Even if you have been a member for a while, your attendance would
be much appreciated, especially for the breakout session.

time but others have not.)
