 ## Remote, safe, and still a community
 
-As everyone is aware, we are living through the biggest public health crisis in living memory. 
-In the interest of safeguarding the instructors and students physical health, we are doing this 
-batch 100% remote.
-
-In normal times, the course is 90% remote. Of the 10% of the time that we meet up, the bootcamp 
-is the most important. It is where everyone spends a few days together and the community aspect 
-of the LDSSA takes root. We think that this sense of community that you get from meeting people 
-in person is what makes the difference between success and dropout for many students. Most online 
-only courses have very high dropout rates (~90%). Our dropout rate is historically very low (~10%).

-So our challenge here is to find a way to maintain a sense of community while staying safe.

 ## The tools
 
 ### The google calendar 
 
-The source of truth for the schedule is [the batch 5 google calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=Y18yODE2azVnYXVscmw3MXVybnJwbGhjbW05c0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t).

 You can use the link itself directly or you can add it to your favorite calendar app.

-We will use google meet for the entire bootcamp. If this works we'll continue using it for the 
-rest of the course. We've got a zoom subscription ready to go in the unlikely case this does not 
-work. Make sure that you are prepared to use both google meet AND zoom so that we are able to 
-quickly adapt should the need arise!
+We will use Google Meet for all virtual meetings.
 
 ### The auditorium room
 
 The auditorium room is the room from which all presentations will be given. This is the big room 
-that everyone can enter when someone needs to speak to everyone else. All SLU presentations and 
-all important announcements will be given from this room and only this room.

 ### Side rooms
 
-Side rooms are specific to SLUs, BLUs, Hackathons, and even coffee breaks. On the google calendar, 
-there are links for each of these. If you want to enter a side room, you can leave the auditorium 
-and go into the side room. Easy-peasy. Just don't remember to go back to the auditorium before the 
-next lecture starts!

 ### Slido
 
 We have all been in that work meeting or class where that one person forgets to mute themselves, 
 making a huge mess of the meeting. Managing so many people in a meeting and making sure everyone 
 gets a turn is a big challenge. To avoid confusion and give everyone a chance to clarify the

 This is a platform where you can write your own questions or vote for other people’s questions 
-to be answered. Without any need for an account, you can just access the website and introduce 
-a slide code, which will be given both in the beginning of each presentation and at the time of 
-Q&A. The instructor will then go through the most voted questions until their out of time.

-But even if your question doesn’t get answered live, it can still get answered. First, you can 
-take advantage of the rooms to discuss those questions left and answered. But additionally, at 
-the end of the bootcamp all instructors will try to compile a list of questions and answers that

 ### Slack
 
-This is how you have written conversations and ask questions that don't require an immediate 
-response. The majority of your experience in the academy will be on slack. Please note that 
-there are rooms created for each of the SLUs, BLUs, and hackathons. Be sure to post your question

+This is where you can have written conversations and ask questions that don't require an immediate

 in the right place!
 
-Note that we have not paid for a full slack subscription. This is on purpose. Slack is not a place 
-that should generate a source of truth for anything at all. Slack is for information that is only 
-meant to last for a few days. Anything else needs to go into something official like a github issue 
-or the wiki if you want it preserved. This is because finding information on slack that is more 
-than a few days old is a nightmare.

-The most important thing you can do for the bootcamp days is to make sure that you're paying 
-attention to the announcements channel.
