Hi All,
I described some of this on Discord, but here it is with more careful typing:
We were going to add participants as guests to each training room. We are all set to do that!
*But, yesterday, Remo's invite guests function broke. So, time for plan b.*
Plan B is to send the email below to everyone who is registered for each course. Participants will be BCC, while instructors will be CC. I will send you the BCC list right after sending the first email.
The email basically says - Welcome - Here's your URL! - It will open / you will be invited at least an hour before the workshop starts. - we are still figuring remo out.
I will start sending these out in 20 Minutes. If I know your workshop is not using Remo, then I won't send any email.
If, by chance the invite mechanism is fixed in time, we will use that. Otherwise we will make each room public when we open it. This runs the risk of people sharing it. However, the fact that they can't get in today when they try will give them the impression that they can't.
So, I believe that this is our best hope for the universe.

Hello BCC2020 Workshop Participants!
Thanks for registering for Workshop
The URL for this workshop is URL
That URL will open about an hour before the workshop starts. Between now and then you will get either a "not on guest list" message, or a "room not open yet" message from Remo.
And, you should have received a general conference email with links to lots of resources for participating in the conference, including instructions on how to use Remo.
Finally, you may also receive additional information from instructors before this session starts.
Thanks again for your interest, Dave C
