HackyHour Würzburg 82

Live

• When: Monday 24^th :warning: Tuesday, July 25^th, 2023 at 5:00pm
• Where: Physics Department - Seminar Room SE2 in building P1.
• Info: HackyHour Website

Future Dates

A representative poll indicated, that Wednesday and Monday are tied in popularity. On each of these days, some people can not come. So we decided to switch to an alternating scheme:

• odd month: HackyHour is on the fourth Monday in the physics department
• even month: HackyHour is on the fourth Wednesday in the CCTB

:exclamation: Re-evaluation time :exclamation:

It is time to re-evaluate this schedule. Here is a poll to vote for future start time and week day: https://terminplaner4.dfn.de/gEaqGnisuKOgga9b Everyone who plans to come to the HackyHour (at least from time to time) in the future, is welcome to participate in the poll. Results of the poll are discussed in the July HackyHour.
