Talk:CNM Event Organizer
Training
- Could you give me some training?
- It depends on the type of training. I can be a mentor, but cannot give you exact instructions since I don't have those. Do you want to try?
Medium
- Will we use skype or?
- What makes Skype a viable option and what other options do we have?
- I recommend skype
- Skype? I wonder what discovery and analysis brought you to that recommendation.
- What is your take on slack?
- Slack doesn't look good for our project. I am not sure whether we succeed, but even if we treat each event as a separate group, participants will be able to each other's email addresses. Thus, we will not be able to provide privacy to our participants.
