| Notes
|
- Only available on week days (office hours). Weekend sprint not possible at this location.
- There is a tiny possibility that access to the larger conference room may be requested at the last minute by city management (e.g. the mayor) in case they need it for a last minute meeting. In this case we would be temporarily relocated for that day (just that day, not all 4 days) to other smaller rooms. This is a city owned conference room so we need to leave them priority but the chances of something like this happening are very low (~1% probability).
|
- Only available around the mid-semester break and weekends. i.e. week of Feb 28 - March 4th
|
