All-day 'Virtual' Acorn session #2, Saturday 2nd May 2020, 9am - 9pm

[JudgeBeeb]

You can join without a webcam. And if you have a webcam, you can choose to join without using it. Although, it makes for a much more sociable event if we can see everyone.

[BigEd]

As a reminder, it's very helpful to use the 'gallery view' which tiles all the people onto the screen, in preference to the 'speaker view'.

If anyone does any screensharing, it's worth noting that you can adjust that to be full-window or to be side-by-side with a gallery.

If not speaking, and especially in a noisy environment, please mute your microphone

[sydney]

Would there be any interest in any gaming or a high score challenge?
We could possibly set up a breakout room specifically for this or just do it in the main room by pointing your camera at the beeb screen or sharing your screen if you are using an emulator. It'd probably be a good idea to have the sound muted if its in the main room.

[BigEd]

Unfortunately only one person at a time can usefully share their screen, unless they have some helpful extra software.

So a breakout room will be the best way to go for this if there is any interest, unless screensharing is limited to one per meeting rather than one per room.

[BigEd]

Breakout would suit me, and perhaps anyone else who wouldn't be into the high score compo.

[Arcadian]

Would there be any interest in any gaming or a high score challenge?

Ah, sorry - thought I'd mentioned this, Ed has already picked two (mystery) games for the 7.30 - 8pm high score slot that's on the schedule!

(No pub quiz yet, so that can be ditched for this week at least, but let's see if we can get something in for the final hour of the Cambridge 'replacement' if Jason x2 are up for it eh?

[TimoHartong]

Are you attending? => In and out
Are you demonstrating something? => Unfortunately my new video to USB will not come in on time. Hope to continue on the Bluetooth stack for RISCOS ( Pi only at this moment )
Which time slot would you like? => No timeslot needed

[sPhilMainwaring]

Today I shall mostly be ... lurking

[Kazzie]

Today I shall mostly be ... lurking

But what about tomorrow?

[Arcadian]

Id like to join in. I don't want a slot unless anyone wants to know about Pi1MHz or anything else I do.

Robert, Simon and I met earlier on Zoom and have allocated you a 10am slot to share info about Pi1MHz and your other projects, hope that's ok!

[hoglet]

I'd like to attend as well please (better late than never.....)

I think I'll be there for most of the morning.

I'll mostly be just lurking.

Dave

[sydney]

I've pm'd the meeting details to everyone - except hoglet!
Let me know if you haven't got your pm yet.

[sydney]

Luckily the message was still in my clipboard so it was easy to pm hoglet!

FYI Dave has added the schedule for tomorrow to the first post in this thread.

[JIM]

Would like to dip in and out and take questions on my Rex game demonstrated at the last online meeting

[Dave_E]

I would like to attend this and am booked in for 4:30pm to talk about Everygamegoing and its wealth of Acorn-related data.

[wolfgang]

If it is not to late, I'd like to attend for a couple of hours as well please.
Just saying hello and watching what people have to share.

[sydney]

I've PM's JIM, Dave_e and Wolfgang the details of the meeting.

[sydney]

I've sent everyone the worng details for the meeting. Please use the details I am about to send. Sorry for the confusion.

[sydney]

New pm's now sent to everyone on the list. Please use the details in the pm with the subject 'Zoom login for today'. Sorry about the confusion. Let me know here if you need any clarification or didn't reciece the pm.

[JudgeBeeb]

I am now logged in as JudgeBeeb. If you cannot see me in the list of participants, you are in the wrong place.

[wolfgang]

I guess I still have the wrong information, since I did not receive a 2nd pm and Zoom says the the meeting is scheduled for 3pm.

[sydney]

I have resent the details to you

[Dave Footitt]

Hi - I may try and pop on for an hour later, although it can be tricky with all of us in the house

Can someone PM / email me the Zoom details? Cheers
