Being a Developer is More Than Code + Contributing to Samba - Virtual Meetup

We've made a slight update to the lineup (due to speaker illness) but we're thrilled to kick off May with a virtual meetup focusing on two really cool topics - one that is widely applicable to our developer community and one a really interesting project..

Being a Developer is More Than Code & Contributing to Samba

The meetup is 100% FREE of course, but a one-minute registration is required here - https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3hSrubYqTe20oyprWV4G2A

The session will officially "open" in Zoom beginning at 11:55 am ET, and live programming will start at 12 noon ET with a few announcements and thank you's. Our goal is to wrap up by 1:00 pm ET as we know many will be working and will need to return/resume as soon as possible.

Each of the featured talks will be ~20 minutes in duration and we'll take questions from attendees.

We'll also give away a few prizes at this event, as we always do. These will include ATO t-shirts and hats, as well as at least one really cool piece of technology.
