<p>Sometimes groups get marked as <code>closed</code> if they haven't been active in a few weeks. This is to keep the list size managable. Any group marked this way can be re-opened at any time.</p>
<p>To re-open a group:</p>
<ol>
<li>Visit the <a href='https://github.com/codeformilwaukee/breakout-groups/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed' target='_blank'>list of closed Github Issues</a>.</li>
<li>Search for your project and click on it.</li>
<li>You will see all the project notes and comments previously left. Scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see a box that allows you to leave a comment. Next to the comment button there should be a 'Reopen Issue' button. </li>
<li>We recommend leaving a comment while you re-open the issue, to update the project and mention if you're looking for anything new!</li>
