Should we have Zoom meeting(s) on NG?

[Birna Rørslett]

It was awesome to see you on zoom 

Likewise I think the first "test" meeting went off very well.

A side note for participant for the next meeting; extending the duration was required.

Nice to see you all

It was a pleasure to zoom-meet you all. Looking forward to meet again 

[Thomas Stellwag]

It was fun to see you.
I got some ideas tonight. (means, Birna you should think twice, before inviting me to another zoom).
One is, to shorten the introduction time in future meetings, when more and other participants are involved:   the supporters put their introduction into their profile, only visible for other supporters. We get a participant list  before a meeting and read these information about people, we do not know. I´ve not yet an feasible idea for non supporters, need one more meeting.

[Birna Rørslett]

We learn along the path followed

I can add the list of participants to the next Zoom invitation, for 27th Nov. 1000. Good idea.

[Thomas G]

I missed it  and will miss 27th Nov because of travel  - too bad.
Hope to be able to join in on a future one.

[Ian Watson]

I cannot make either, alas. To quote Oscar Wilde, work is the curse of the social classes.

It sounds like it is off to a good start and I hope to join you in the future.

[Birna Rørslett]

So, what time of the day would suit you better, Ian? Same question goes to Thomas G.

[Akira]

How will the link to the Zoom meeting be sent to the participants?  Via PM in NG or via email registered in the profile?

[Birna Rørslett]

Easiest for me is by PM. That is how I did this the first time.

[Thomas G]

weekdays 1800 CET or later looks promising.

That would be handy for the participants, too.

A topic for future zoom meetings could be photo critique sessions for NG supporters.

This should hopefully increase the NG support numbers.

[Birna Rørslett]

Let us have an introductory round, then see that is on top of the members' wish list _

Photo critique ? perhaps this is a good idea. Let members mull over this and give feed back. It's certainly doable.

I have put up a test site dedicated to mobile phone users as well. The  site is purely experimental and we won't open it for general access at present. If you are interested in becoming a guinea pig for that site, send me a PM.

[Ian Watson]

So, what time of the day would suit you better, Ian?

Time of the day is easy. I am six hours behind you and so your afternoon, evening or late evening would be fine.

The problem is my weird and wonderful shift schedule. It has a four-week cycle. Mondays and Thursdays, I am off one week in four and am available in the morning (mine) another one in four. The other days I am off two weeks in four and am available in the morning on a third.

It is not reasonable to ask you to accommodate this schedule.
