What is Open Source RTP?

How Often Do We Meet?
Meetups take place every month – on average 10 or so a year.
When Do We Meet?
Meetups generally take place in the evening (live programming begins at 6:30 pm ET), but we’ll host a few sessions and special events during the day for those that can’t make it out during evening hours.
