Event Timeline

But there is no available slot for this this week. The last one was Thursday and the next will be Monday.

I don't know exactly what this means, I am sorry. I suppose we will just hope that most participants have created their accounts beforehand.

@kgreeves This mean that we can't deploy any patch in week of April 18. I'll close this task as declined because April 18 was yesterday. In futher requests please notify us at least a week before you want to lift IP limit. Thanks. Another possibility is grant account creator group to someone who will lead a course and he/she will be able to create accounts with no rate limit.

Thank you. I will include this in the notes for the organizers next year.

@kgreeves You're welcome. Thanks for including to the notes.

And sorry for my mistake, I wrote that in week of April 25 we cannot deploy anything but correct is in week of April 18. First possibility is April 25, so that's the reason why I wrote incorrect date. Sorry.
