[Ssc-dev] Rashomon/WITNESS/Guardian/HRC Re: call this morning

[Bryan Nunez]

Yes very good news!  I'm cc'ing the Guardian team as well.

Nathan suggested joining our mailing list if you want to contact everyone
and stay in the loop on our work:
https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/ssc-dev

Also we can start an IRC channel when we need to do
more synchronous communication.

Thanks everyone,
Bryan
