BEERCONF!
As it was last year, and the year before, this month's beerconf will coincide with the annual Dconf Online. That means December 17-18.
Everything will be mostly the same, except we will probably be spending a lot of time on the actual Dconf Online stream, so during the conference many participants won't be on the beerconf stream.
However, before/after the main events, it is a pretty good hangout space.
To remind everyone about beerconf, here is the Wiki article.
See you there!
