</div></div>I wish I were there in person, but I'll try to participate from remote<br>
if we can get people to join IRC and redirect important communication<br>
through it.<br>

It will be a lot of work but it should be worth it. The lecture, tutorial, explore, break sequence should give us a nice rhythm that will suit both in person and remote learning. I am planning on giving the lectures. Dogi can run the tutorial sections.<br>
<br>I am particularly interested about how the free exploration hours will go. The participants seem to have a wide variety of backgrounds and interest. So, the exploration will take us in interest directions. We have many more details to work out.<br>
