We are in the process of realigning what kind of value node-testing Tuesdays brings to not only the development team and the platform, but also the community and portfolio companies. We will be continuing the cadence of the Tuesday meet-ups, but the focus will be changing week to week. Check in the Discord #node-testing channel on Mondays to find out what's happening each week. Suggestions for future sessions are always welcome!
