Miscellaneous
You have maybe met some of them at Maria's excellent initiative Quarantine beer, and if the technology is benevolent, we hope to make it possible for you to meet in a digital break room at Teams. Thanks to H?kon for the suggestion of a digital break room.
Make sure you have the Teams app easily available on your desktop. All persons already on the mailing list tik-ansatte@tik.uio.no will be included in the team "TIK pauserom". Starting tomorrow, between 10 and 15 Monday-Friday you might join a video stream with the same name from the app, i.e. visit the digital break room. Maybe there will be someone else taking a small coffee break to chat with.
This is, as hinted at above, a technology that I am not very familiar with, so please do not hesitate in suggesting ameliorations.
