Live YouTube chat on TXP

hilaryaq · 2019-07-11 17:54:27

The first video chat is online now, and here’s its TOC.

— Edit: Uli

Original post’s content:

A long long time ago we had a google hangouts chat and it was lovely to virtually see everyone!

Would anyone be interested in participating in a casual chat about Textpattern as your chosen cms, why we like it etc, on a youtube live stream? I would be happy to host and organise! :)

I like the idea. Set a date/time, promote it here, and I believe enough TXP users will attend.

gaekwad started a thread last year on a similar concept – Textpattern users meet up – remote video & text chat conference.

A YouTube live stream would be a simple way to get this going.

Thanks Towndock!

Ya there were a fair few people on the now defunct google plus community group so I think now that that has been retired it would be great to touch base with everyone again to say hi. :)

What date/time would suit you guys? I’m thinking Thursday 18th at 3pm Irish Standard Time?

Great idea, thank you. I’ll happily lurk, but 3pm conflicts with school pick-up time for me so I’d have to join a bit later.

towndock · 2019-07-15 12:21:11

The time is OK for me (east coast US time is 5 hours earlier) but a bit later time may lure potential attendees on the US west coast. Plus let Bloke get school pick up done.

Thank you for your energy in making this happen.

Current Local Time in Dublin, Ireland (Baile Átha Cliath (Irish))

That would work. A slightly later start (3:30pm / 4pm) would work but if we go much later it interferes with other things like swimming lessons, haha. #BusyChildSocialLife.

Failing that, evening works, although that means more people ahead of our time zone are likely unavailable too.

I’m easy. Don’t plan it around me.

Could we do it earlier? It will be better for those in the States and near east.

With East Coast at 5 hours earlier I could do 2pm which is 9am EST if that’s not too early?!

9am EST is fine by me – but that’s 6am on the US west coast. Suggest later – like 4pm your time. Or even later.

As you’ll get conflicting input on this – just pick a time (I’ll show up.) I do think a time that works with at least one of the Textpattern Devs would be wise.
