Tutorial Instructors
by Ewa Jodlowska May 1, 2017

May 1, 2017

Hey Felix - Friday night I spent some time correcting the locations. Unfortunately the website does not have the proper tutorial names on it so I fixed those in the mobile guide and linked them to areas on the floor plan. While I was doing that, I noticed that the tutorials are not linked with the tutorial presenters. Is there an easy way to link them that you know of? If not, I can ask Gulnaar to help with that. She has been eager to help :) Best regards, Ewa Director of Operations Python Software Foundation Cell: 415-319-5237
