Hi all,

We’re excited to announce a bumper lineup of webinars this month, which you
are invited to attend.


We have four webinars in May - the first, a retrospective session, where
speakers David Clipsham, Ross Spencer and Tyler Thorsted will reflect on
‘Searching for a Signature’, a hands-on workshop, first presented at iPRES
2025 - what worked well, and what would they do differently? The final
three webinars will be 3 short sessions to cover our work restoring the OPF
Wiki, the challenges faced, and what we’ll do next.
