There was no IRC meeting on saturday in the end. <br><br>What time and how long (and where) is the training? I think it's unlikely that i'll be able to make it as I wont be able to get out of work until 6pm at the earliest, but might be able to make it down a bit late if more people are needed for it. I suspect 6:30 is the earliest i'll manage.<br>

If the team that met on Saturday via IRC to go through the upcoming<br>
teacher orientation would provide a brief update in afvance of the<br>
session on Tuesday, and also confirm who is attending (RSVP if you are<br>
attending) it would be appreciated!<br>
