Hi @jheitz200! I would like to touch base with you about this workshop. Would you please email me at carlisia@golangbridge.org when you have a chance? Thank you.

[carlisia]

Had not meant to close this issue.

@jheitz200 it was great chatting today.

So, after you have more info please check things off from the checklist here so we know you are not needing help with those things.

I'm working on finding you a teacher.

[carlisia]

@jheitz200, @extemporalgenome has graciously stepped up to teach the workshop! He will be teaching the course Ultimate Go, previously known in the GoBridge community as Hardcore Go.

I ask that you two please coordinate a date.

We need (but should have zero trouble) to find TAs and volunteers to help. Once the date and other details are worked out and the Bridge Troll event created, we can send that event link so people can sign up to volunteer.

Hi @jheitz200, wanted to touch base with you on this. How is it going? Would it be helpful if I got more people to help out?

[carlisia]

Hi @extemporalgenome and @jheitz200, it would be great to run this workshop before GopherCon this year. We have a lot of friends there in Denver who could be of help. Please let us know if we can take the next step in helping make this happen (put the word out for a venue and/or sponsorship for food, etc) or if we should close this ticket until a more convenient time for you all. Thank you.

Closing this issue due to organizer wanting to postpone. We are looking forward to having a workshop in Denver when the time is right!
