I saw the entire video on Google Drive last week and thoroughly enjoyed it! Each topic was unique and not related to other topics, so it was an advantage.

Do we know what are the topics for next month's online meeting?

Aditya

[Figleaf]

Yes Aditya. Each month, there's a new thread on the monthly event on the board Forum Events. Apart from date and time of the next event, you will see speakers and subjects appear as they become known and see the list coalesce into an agenda.

This latest link is not shared. I got 'Access denied' so I clicked 'Request access'. I did and let it take my email address. A message said an email has been sent. That was a few minutes ago, but I haven't heard back yet.

[Figleaf]

Not sure what the problem is but it looks like it can be solved. I suppose Hitesh needs to do something to change the status of that page and it's getting late in India, so it may take a while before he's conscious of the issue and solves it.

Thank you for bringing the quirk to his attention.
