Come join us and in small groups innovate, hack, prototype and learn stuff.
There's a bit of prep for the organisers to do, so RSVP would be appreciated.
You don't have to be a programmer or coder (though we need plenty) but any skills in data models, storage/DBs, cloud architecture, scrum/Agile, UX or UI, PWAs, PubSub/MQTT/SocketIO, systems admin, QA, Test, ML, networking, product management are all going to be very useful.
