[Lab] launchpad

[Darcy Whyte]

Well, we'd need to have time to invite people and make sure the lab is free.
I'll check with Ryan and check the schedule.

You mean this Thursday as in tomorrow? Or do you mean next Thursday a week
away? Or the next one?

It will be interested to see how many people are interested.

I sure am.
