<div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Hello Riveteers,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">It's time to prepare for the annual Rivet workshop/hackathon, version 2017! This is a great opportunity for newcomers to get involved with the help of more seasoned contributors, as well as a perfect time to polish off those new features we've been trying to ship for a while (I'm pointing fingers at myself I promise). This year's festivities will be held in Hamburg at the lovely DESY campus, and we are aiming for approximately three days of fun in October or early November. To ensure maximum attendance, please fill out the doodle poll below.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:small"><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/i94xaevx948kfy8r" target="_blank">https://doodle.com/poll/<wbr>i94xaevx948kfy8r</a></span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Even if you aren't able to attend in person, you are more than welcome to take part in the activities remotely. If you are a newcomer and interested in contributing from off site, please let us know in advance so we can help get you up to speed. Along the same lines: we plan to schedule a Rivet tutorial during the first day of the workshop, and we'll do our best to have video connections available for it. Feel free to advertise the tutorial to anyone you think might be interested, even if they don't want to contribute to Rivet directly.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Looking forward to seeing and meeting you all soon.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Chris and Chris</div></div></div>
