Dear all,

This is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues from other groups.

According to my experience, such initiatives are hard to sustain when everyone is lost in the daily business with many things that have higher priority. So, it's even more important that we contribute to this in the future, as we are among the biggest groups at INF.

I am pretty sure that all of you can give interesting talks here, with moderate preparation effort (through recycling conference talks, etc.). Let's try to keep this running..

Have a sunny Saturday!

Best, Timo
