Create Team Day - 15th Edition - Friday, April 19th 2024

What is this?

Hello team!

It's time to have another Create Team Day! (See the list of past team days).

Please use: #s_create_team-day on Slack.

Event Goal: have a long time socializing with your fellow teammates in the devopscreate stage for one day!

  • We recommend blocking out any work-related activities and meetings so that you have the entire day to socialize.
  • Apart from the scheduled timeslots, you are encouraged to schedule your own ad-hoc initiatives like playing specific games.

When

Date: Friday, April 19th 2024

Time: Throughout the day!
