Botwiki Updates #18
I created a Botmakers.org meetup group 🙂
Thanks to the generous offer from Gyro to provide space for a Botwiki/Botmakers-related event, I have an opportunity to host a Botwiki edit-a-thon!
Check out the Meetup.com page here, but note that the date is not yet confirmed.
Let me know if you are interested in giving a short presentation!
