October Reading Group

Join us at HackLab.TO for our inaugural monthly reading group! For this month we ask each person to select a short article covering some topic related to networks and share it in advance so other people can read. We will determine how we want to organize ourselves and what readings to focus on going forward.

New people are always welcome. Come say hi on on #reading-networks:tomesh.net, or email us at hello@tomesh.net, to find out what we will be reading for the month!
