[powerplay] Co-Facilitate The Playbook Session at RIghtsCon?

[Sophia Bazile]

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for the invitation. I would be interested in co-facilitating if
you are still open for additions.

I'm actually thinking of submitting to RightsCon as well - and I'm sure I
will try to attend in person.

Are you planning for virtual, hybrid, or in-our person?

Congrats on this latest (upcoming) milestone with The Playbook, it's been a
pleasure to participate!

Happy Weekend :)

Sophia
