The September event was one of the most interesting we've held, with presentations on RFID scanning, emails via SendGrid, innovative uses of endpoints in FM and Otto. Many thanks to our inspirational and highly knowledgeable speakers Cris Ippolite and John Renfrew.
If you couldn't make it, catch up on the event at our YouTube Channel, where the recording will be up soon. Why not take in some of the other events whilst you are there?
Chat transcripts from the last and previous meetings are available in Meetings or on request.
Our video recordings are on our YouTube Channel (now up to date).

As always, if anyone has something they'd like to present, please let us know.
FMBug Help is for anyone with a development issue they'd like some help with or an idea they want to share. We have a wealth of knowledge here, so developers attending - please pitch in if you think you have the answer or it's an issue you've come across before. It would help us if you could send your questions in advance here. We'll try to cover it between sessions or in the virtual bar.
Joining instructions and link details are here.

Instructions
Join the event any time from 18.20 UK time onwards and wait to be let in.
Ensure you have set a name we recognize - you won't be admitted without one.
When you join a Zoom meeting (on the desktop client, mobile app, or web client), you can enter the meeting ID number and have the option to update your name.
If you're signed in, change your name if you don't want your default name to appear. If you're not signed in, enter a display name that will appear to other meeting participants.
Once you are accepted into the meeting, please mute the mic on your feed. You can access this by mousing down over the bottom of the window.
Mic: Mute
Video: On please (but off if you prefer)
We ask for your video to be on because Zoom no longer records attendees with no video/image and on the recordings the meetings look poorly attended. Images are fine for this if you don't want your video on.
Core discussion is reserved for Event Locations (Brighton and London) and for speakers at the event.
Please use the chat and only speak when invited or appropriate. We also ask that you only unmute your mike when speaking and mute again afterwards.
You can change the layout by clicking on the three dots on the right. If you want full screen select Change layout and Use Spotlight option.
Note: Our meetings are recorded and available on our YouTube Channel after. Please let us know if there is something you don't want made public, or save the comment until the Virtual Bar. Similarly the Chat.
If you have problems getting in, please contact Jul or Gary.
If we don't know you personally, please be ready to provide some evidence that you are known to one of the other attendees or other valid reason to be let in. This is because we have in the past had someone just trying to disrupt the meeting.
Anyone who does try to disrupt the meeting will be kicked immediately and will not let back in.

These meetings are FREE for everyone now thanks to the generosity of ForbiddenPlanet.com
