The topics for the November 6th date will be determined by the progress and results of our participation in the 2015 FRC Beta Test. The November 13th and 20th topics are still up in the air; if there are any topics you'd like to see us cover, please post here and let us know! We can't promise we'll be able to cover them, but are very open to suggestions.
As the first date approaches, we'll post a direct link where you can watch these seminars!
