ipSpace.net Design Clinic is a monthly Zoom call open to ipSpace.net users with active paid subscription. Each session starts with a whiteboarding discussion of multiple design challenges submitted by ipSpace.net subscribers and concludes with an open-mike discussion of whatever technology topics the audience finds interesting.
The discussions are recorded, and the best bits are published as parts of relevant webinars or as a stand-alone collection.
