[Dprglist] DPRG: COVID-19 update- RBNO for Tuesday 17 March and 24 March

[Carl Ott]

Sorry to report that we need to cancel RBNO for 17 March and 24 March.

I took a phone call from somebody at the Makerspace even as I was reading
these latest DMS policy updates:
https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/covid-19-classes-and-meetings-at-dms/69995


https://talk.dallasmakerspace.org/t/office-coronavirus-policy-updated/69754


It seems that DMS is in the process of cancelling planned meetings and
classes for at least 2 weeks, at least / likely starting with the larger
ones.

*In case we find ourselves stuck in this mode longer:*
I'd like to ask your ideas and thoughts on hosting virtual DPRG gatherings.
Please speak up if you have any ideas for what you'd like to see, or if
there's something you'd like to present.

Maybe we could even go further and hold 'club office hours' where we
provide virtual help sessions.

Anyhow we can make it as interactive or passive as desired, and record
proceedings for the DPRG YouTube channel. Let's turn this pothole into
something good!

I hope everybody stays safe as we (hoard toilet paper) and hunker down.

BR,
Carl
DPRG Pres

PS.
In case you missed it - the Coronavirus task force briefing from today -
recommending a 15 day 'hunker down' period:

I can't seem to find the 2 page sheet the speakers all had on stage.
The gist of today's guidelines seems to be here:
