Weekday 'Virtual' General session #15, Tuesday 19th January 2021, 7pm - 10pm (GMT)

[Arcadian]

The next general 'General' Acorn session on Zoom will take place Tuesday 19th January 2021 from 7pm until 10pm.

The Tuesday evening meets are quite different to the Saturday events which are highly structured with many organised speakers giving presentations. Tuesday meets tend to be very much ad-hoc where conversation can flow between members on a variety of subjects from the technical moving through to more social interaction. We try to start off with any technical topics and once they are finished pretty much anything goes though we try to avoid politics and religion!

Some of the more 'regular' attendees at the Tuesday night sessions have already received an invite containing the Zoom login info.

If you would like to attend but haven't received an invite, please respond in this thread if you would like to receive the Zoom logins.

This next bit is important.

If there is something you'd like to talk about please post in this thread and whoever is moderating at the time can make sure time is set aside for discussing your topic.

Also, if you suddenly remember something you would like to talk about during the meeting and you don't want to interrupt the current discussion please leave a message in the Zoom chat for the attention of a host/co-host.

If there are no topics then the evening will be pretty much just a social gathering of Acorn geeks, which many would agree is no bad thing.

If you are new to Zoom, forum member JudgeBeeb has written a handy guide to getting set up and logged in.

Sure, invite sent and I've added you to the default group for the General Sessions so you'll automatically receive them in future (together with the Dev Night invites and, when they resume, the Preservation Team sessions).

I'm interested in attending this one. Could I receive an invite?

[Arcadian]

Sure, do you want me to add you to the regular invitee list so you always receive the Tuesday night Zoom logins automatically (which would be via email sent from the ABug Google account)?

[ccawley2011]

Yes please, that would be great.

[Arcadian]

Yes please, that would be great.

Ok that's all sorted, you just now have an invite with Zoom logins for Tues 19th...

Great session so far (which is still ongoing!).

Good to see sydney back in the fold too!

Invites have been sent out to 'regulars' for the next session which will be on Tuesday 2nd February, thread to follow ...

Sorry, I can't believe I missed this. I got the week wrong again. Sorry dave

(I reckon we should bump these threads a day before the event - now that so many people are auto-subscribed, there's not the same auto-bumping as people sign up. If I could remember, I'd bump it myself!)
