Hello list, In case you have not heard, we're working on developing our village contest program (maybe renamed challenge program) tracked here: https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/michael-vegas-august-2018/us/18/ https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/michael-vegas-august-2018/task/13/ Our agenda is complete, and badge design complete, so a few other tasks are needing attention. For example workshop equipment and ATM. https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/michael-vegas-august-2018/task/52/ https://taiga.getmonero.org/project/michael-vegas-august-2018/task/53/ ATM exchange We'll have the chance to demonstrate how a cryptocurrency ATM device exchanges dollars for XMR. There are a number of difficulties that we can prepare for ahead of time. The task is #52 in the above URL. Up2 computers We're likely to have enough Up2 computers on site to support visitors learning to transfer, trade, mine, and configure nodes. The difficulties expected are documented in task #53 in the URL. Request Please consider researching and planning for use of the ATM and Up2 equipment, as all dependent village offerings may fail unless we have at least a couple people managing those areas. Meeting We'll meet for one or two hours on Saturday 30 June at 16 UTC in irc:chat.freenode.net/#monero-community to discuss these topics: https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/245/ ...at least many of you will (while I'm probably without connectivity at that time.)
