This month we'll be welcoming:

Marco Vidonis - Building An Open Source Hybrid Events Platform

Marco will talk about his experience starting an open source project, based on webRTC, to solve the specific problems of hybrid meetups and events and why commonly used tools (i.e. Zoom) are not the right answer.

Post-meetup social
After the talks we'll head to socialise at the nearby Triple Point Brewery + Bar. They serve a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus food from Twisted Burger Co. See https://triplepointbrewing.co.uk/ for more details.
