Abschlusspanel mit 5 TN, die verschiedene Rollen repräsentieren + „heisser Stuhl“ für Stimme aus dem Publikum. Ganz nettes Format eigentlich

got an email to sign up for a clinic and... you have to scan a QR code to get to the sign-up form.

WTAF

Just give me a link

Way back when I had no idea how to version my projects, I bumped the number based on how many changes there were.

EDIT: to put the icing on the cake, I re-named it 8RSHIFT ... gotta go ...
