Can we discuss anything?
It's advisable to stay generally on topic, attendees are distributed around the world so they may not (likely won't) share the same views regarding controversial topics not related to Gridcoin/BOINC/computers/cryptocurrency.
What is Gridcoin?
Gridcoin securely rewards BOINC computation on top of Proof of Stake. Reward allocation is distributed, not centralized unlike other distributed computing related cryptocurrencies.
Where can I listen to the raw live stream?
Where can I listen to edited versions of the hangouts?

- To be transparent in our actions.

A massive shout out to the BeyondBitcoin community & @officialfuzzy for providing the Gridcoin community a room in their mumble server for free, @cm-steem, for hosting the first ~35 Hangouts. Also, to @fkinglag for providing a live stream of the Hangouts and Classrooms for more ways to get in on the action! :D
Thanks for reading, and follow me for more Gridcoin-related updates!
Are there any plans to implement a method to notify on the wallet that new versions are available. Maybe even a news section including patch notes and past poll results?
I'll be unable to attend this one, but there's always next time.
