I'm a fan.</div><div><div><br></div><div>Erika Drushka and I have been regular students of Humph, Pomax and others for the last four weeks – I think the student-teacher ratio is usually something like 1:5, so we should be really proud of that! We've been doing homework and levelling ourselves up and I'd really like to express a note of gratitude to everyone who has been mentoring us there.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, Erikad is away this Friday. We'd discussed postponing this week's meeting til she's back, but I also wanted to suggest it as a catch-up session for anyone who had expressed interest to join but maybe missed the first few sessions and now feels hopelessly behind… We really haven't gotten that far ahead : )</div><div><br></div><div>It's been fun to learn-with-others, to be mentored by colleagues, and I'm willing to pass the favour on if anyone wants 1/1 catchup sessions outside of GitClub, as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Regular times (and all our notes and hw assignments) for GitClub are here: <a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/gitclub">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/gitclub</a></div><div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Dorkily yours,</div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; ">Cassie</div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div>
