Hello SignWriting List members, and THANK YOU Steve, for thinking of, and making arrangements for a SignWriting Symposium 2024!

Yesterday, July 1st, 2023, Steve and I chatted on Gitter Chat. You can chat with Steve on Gitter by going to https://www.sutton-signwriting.io/

https://app.gitter.im/#/room/%23sutton-signwriting_community:gitter.im

Steve told me of this amazing idea, so I want you all to know how grateful I am, that Steve has the energy to take another Symposium on his shoulders, a whole decade after Steve, Adam and I bravely attempted our first SignWriting Symposium in 2014 on what was at that time called “Google Hangouts”. You can access those older Symposiums - 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 on our SignWriting.org <http://signwriting.org/> web site:
