Dear All, We are transitioning away from Slack due to its high subscription costs and will be moving to the free community-maintained Mattermost platform hosted by the Neuromorphs community. All communication related to the BNEW26 workshop will now take place on Mattermost.  The tentative project list will be uploaded on Mattermost within the next week. All participants are encouraged to contribute their ideas, propose hardware setups, and collaborate on brainstorming discussions before the workshop commences. Use the following invite link to join BNEW Teams space on Mattermost: https://mm.neuromorphs.net/signup_user_complete/?id=ct96duqjf3nh7jryqk46nrog3e&md=link&sbr=su Optional: Install the Mattermost mobile app The Mattermost app is available on both the Play Store and App Store.
