a part of that sessions plus an informal Coffee and Tea Room via a channel where
the participants can if they want come into the session, or even just say hello
to the other attendees, who cannot be seen from the zoom webinar interface. We know
that someone when it's not the best, we were not able to get the best of all the

exciting problem of this year,
