Zoom link: We will be using this same Zoom link (will also be in the Google Calendar events)
- Note: while core curriculum sessions will be recorded, we will not publish or distribute these recordings beyond 0xPARC and program participants who are unable to make a particular session. Nothing will ever be published in a broader capacity without explicit consent from 100% of people who are in a recording.
Discord:
- Join the 0xPARC Discord and reply to this email with your Discord handle so we can give you appropriate permissions. The 0xPARC community Discord server will be the home of asynchronous discussion during the program, and there will be dedicated channels (e.g. ask-any-question) that we’ve found to be conducive to exploration and learning.
- We will also add you to an announcements-only mailing list that will last the duration of the program. This will only be used to send announcement emails for each session.
If you are unable to make a session
If you are unable to make it to a particular session, please email zkfrontiers@0xparc.org — we will provide a temporary link to the recording so you can catch up. We understand participants are busy, and that things come up! That said, we hope you can participate live in as many of the sessions as possible =). We’ve deliberately kept things small (we expect around a dozen participants) to encourage questions, the exchange of ideas, and general discussion.
