>> https://tinyurl.com/sketching20-schedule
>>
>> The spreadsheet is editable by anyone, so a couple of requests:
>>   - Don't share this link
>>   - Don't move things to different times or change other people's titles
>> or
>> names.
>>
>> However, feel free to change the title of your talk or how we spell your

>> content to everyone, so you get it in your time zone.
>>
>> And yes, we will record presentations and share the link, but we hope you
>> can attend as many of them live as is workable for you.
>>
>>
>> WELCOME PACKET
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> Leah put together a welcome packet that should answer MOST of your
>> questions about what, how, and when things will happen at Sketching this
>> year. It's an evolving document, so we'll probably update it and announce
>> changes in Slack.
>>
>> Here's the link:

>>
>> PLEASE MAKE A REMO ACCOUNT
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> The main event this year will take place in remo.co. Since this is a
>> relatively new service, you'll probably have to make an account to use it.
>>
>> Leah put together an instruction guide to Remo. It has instructions for
>> how to create an account. Please read it and make an account in advance
>> of
>> the event:
>>
>> https://tinyurl.com/sketching20-remo-howto
>>
>> To prevent non-participants from crashing our event, we're authorizing
>> the
>> email address at which you're receiving this email. You'll get an
>> invitation in email to that address. If you would like to use a different
>> email address, please email us at rsvp at sketching-in-hardware.com
>>
>>
>> PRESENTATION TOPICS
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> Everyone has to present for 15 minutes, unless we've made other
>> arrangements. There are presentation guidelines in the Welcome Packet
>> (see
>> above) and you can add/update your presentation topic in the schedule
>> (linked above). Please do so as soon as you can, so we can have a
>> complete
>> schedule by the start of the event. Also, if it turns out that you change
>> your mind about your presentation at the last minute, that's fine, but
>> please let us know.
>>
>>
>> SHARE PRESENTATION SLIDES
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> For posterity and for the visually impaired among us who may need to see
>> your presentation slides directly, please upload your files to the
>> dropbox
>> link below whenever they're ready (we realize that if you're anything
>> like
>> me, they won't be ready to upload until after your presentation is over,
>> but as share them as soon as you can):
>>
>> https://tinyurl.com/sketching20-files
>>
>> We'll make the directory available during the event. Please label them
>> with your name and "Sketching 2020".
>>
>> PRE-EVENT SOCIAL GATHERING, THURSDAY 6PM-7PM PT
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> There's a Sketching tradition of gathering socially and informally the
>> night before the event. This year we are holding the gathering between
>> 6PM
>> and 7PM Pacific Time using YORB, a student project by Aidan Nelson and
>> Shawn van Every at NYU's ITP. It's a spatial-audio-enabled boxy,
>> lightweight, virtual world. Links and instructions are in the Welcome
>> Packet.
>>
>> THANK YOU YORB TEAM!
>>
>> THANK YOU, SPONSORS: ARDUINO AND THINGM!
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> Organizing Sketching costs money. Usually we squeak by financially with a
>> combination of registration fees and last-minute sponsorship (thanks to
>> everyone who has helped us with that in years past!). This year, where we
>> had to change plans midstream, we are especially grateful for our
>> sponsors. THANK YOU, Arduino for your sponsorship of the charrette kits,
>> and thank you Tod and ThingM for your ongoing support of Sketching in
>> general. Without you this couldn't have happened at all this year.
>>
>>
>> THANK YOU, FRIENDS
>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
>> Also, a giant thank you to:
>>   - Greg Schomburg who, for the bajillionth year in a row, designed the
>> Sketching identity (with ANOTHER custom typeface!) and built the website.
>>   -Tom Igoe, who has been a sounding board and collaborator throughout
>> the
>> planning process this year (and many years past), and who is providing
>> the
>> key enabling technologies and ideas for the charrette.
>>   - Leah McKibbin and Sans Souci (http://sanssoucigroup.com/). She,
>> Janie
>> Coakley, and the rest of San Souci do 99% of the logistics (which means
>> 99% of the work) to make Sketching possible every year. If you have a
>> small business or a big project, and you need someone to organize the
>> heck
>> out of it, they will do that.
>>
>> Also, I bet I'm forgetting someone to thank. Please remind me and I'll
>> not
>> let it happen again.
