It was nice to meet Anthony and Bruno online real time, and see Birna for the first time since we met in Tokyo in 2007!

Again, thank you, Birna, for hosting!  Hope the meeting to be held on a regular basis without burden on the host.  We can also have personal meetings via Skype or GoogleMeet or whatever, but I'm sure that the official NG meeting would encourage the members to do it more.

It was indeed very nice to meet you for the first time, Akira and Anthony. Nice also to see Birna again. We should do this again.

I echo Akira's and Bruno's comments. It was great to meet you both, and to see Birna again, and thanks to Birna for organising this.

Birna, this is the jpeg lossless compression program I mentioned. I use it a lot for space saving. https://www.jpegmini.com

I tentatively have set up another Zoom meeting at Thursday 7th Dec, 2300  CET. Anyone interested in attending, please shoot me a PM.

If there are takers, perhaps also Friday 8th at 1000 CET.

Agenda for our first round of Zoom meetings

(we do this informally, but it’s preferable to have a plan)

1. Birna opens the meeting with introductory remarks. Very brief history background etc.

2. Each  participant introduces himself/herself. Some people have met others, but we should presume all are unfamiliar persons and present ourselves accordingly.

3. Birna and the NG Crew wish to learn what the participants think on the following subjects,

- what is functioning well on the NG web site

- the reason you like to participate in site activities

- what features do you miss [the most]

- why are there so few active Supporters?

- can anyone think of contribute by sharing responsibilities in the running of the site. Obviously this topic connects to the outcome of the previous questions.

- ideas for in-vivo meetings in 2024? We might sum up our thoughts about having more virtual meetings in the future as well here.

The last test run is indeed on 1000 CET, 8th Dec.

After that we probably opt for weekly "NG chats", perhaps with user-selected topic(s)

I participated in the meeting a bit too late, so I didn't really have chances to say hello to Gil and Frank.  I've already spoke with Birna and Bruno, and Thomas on the Messenger of the Facebook.

Nevertheless, it was great to see you all!  It would be nice not only that the Zoom meeting would be a regular event, but also it would encourage us to see each other personally online via whatever means.

Agreed Akira.
I joined a lovely session with Anthony, Adil and Birna today.

Good to see these may become more regular events.
