Hello. You don't need an app. Any modern browser should be able to connect to Google Meet calls. The next scheduled call is on Wednesday, but in a different timezone, probably not convenient for you in NYC. There will be future calls in US-friendly timezones.
We shall be releasing the concise digest of the call this week, and posting it here too. Cheers, A. Asaf Bartov (he/him/his) Senior Program Officer, Emerging Wikimedia Communities Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Help us make it a reality! https://donate.wikimedia.org On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 10:32 PM Adjoa Linda Fletcher <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry I missed today's session.
