Greetings to all members of the CaRCC People Network and others in the RCD Community!
Given the number of community members that were not able to attend PEARC24 – some due to global-tech-outage travel impacts… many People Network Tracks are planning PEARC24 recap discussions, and/or joining forces in doing so. Mark your calendars for the below, including our usual run-down of calls from our RCD ecosystem partners and collaborators.
For handy calendar entries, try the CaRCC People Network Calendar (GCal view, integrate). If you’re not on our mailing lists, you can join here and join our Slack channels.
Thank you,
Your People Network Coordinators and Track Coordinators
(care of Lauren Michael)

– Ephemeral computing (e.g., Magic Castle)

For those who did not attend, this is your chance to hear more about the conference and to discuss where our communities should be exploring further.
