[NTLK] Worldwide Online Newton Conference 2020

Wed Apr 15 04:06:34 EDT 2020

Hi everyone,

That's a great idea with the online conference in Zoom, sadly I'm in
the Tokyo timezone and won't be likely to attend, but hopefully
someone will put up a recording later on? :-)

Sadly I don't have my green friends with me for the past few years but
the conference would be a good way to see the state of the scene right
now.

Stay safe!
Best regards,
