[Swift-devel] Re: Daily skype conference for student work

[Michael Wilde]

For todays call I'll connect to Arjun, David, Ioan, Jon, Justin, and Thiago.

Dennis will start (and join the calls) next week.

If anyone wants to join the call, text me in skype, and I'll connect to you.
Send me email if Im not already in your contacts.

I havent seen a way yet to post a skype conference that you can connect in to.
We'll have to see how the voice quality works.
