October 2019 RXC Town Hall Call Minutes & Recording
Fanny Lakoubay
October 7, 2019
We have had a bit of issues with town hall scheduling: on the first two calls (August and September), the daylight saving times have been wrong in Google calendars, making people log in at the end of both calls. This time for the 3rd call, we made sure to list a lot of different time zones but messed up the days in a tweet btw Tuesday and Wednesday…
We were however very happy to connect with the RXC community sitting on the East side of the world before Devcon5 Osaka and other major initiatives happening in Asia.
Read through to the detailed minutes to learn more about many many things happening around RXC concepts and applications.
