Thanks for your proposal, Denis. This sounds great! I especially like that we are making it easy for other groups to host these sessions. That way, everybody can offer support in the schedule and for the fields they feel most comfortable with. This makes it possible to directly hear about the pain points of our developers and then immediately transfer them into actionable items.
