[sudo-discuss] hacking broken ankles (knee scooters, etc)

[Romy Ilano]

Thanks everyone!

I'd love to "teleport" through the wonders of wifi to participate in the
sudo meeting tonight. Is anyone willing to webcam me in?
*(just think, a few years ago before Google Hangoust or skype this would
have been prohibitively expensive - although I do spend more time looking
at lolcat photos using social media than I do creating amazing solutions to
help handicapped people in my life)*
