Hello everyone!
I just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to be thinking about what
documentation project/proposal you'd like to work on with your
colleagues during Hackweek AND to remember to add your proposal to the
issue queue in Gitlab :) See Rhatto's email below ;) Have a great day!
Best,
Tyler
