Hi all,

Noting the 2nd Sunday virtual meetups - is there any interest in doing likewise on a different day different time and a different location ?

So, question 1: What day ?

Bearing in mind that Sat and Sun offer a much wider time period, typically !

I'm also thinking 'very informal' - so if we start at 9am with 3 people and by 10am there are 6 people then at 11am the first 3 have left and another 6 have joined and so on and so forth so you have rolling attendees right throughout the day until the last person leaves (please turn the light off and close the door 😉 )

Despite the w/e being potentially longer availability, I'm going to include all DotW as there may be a second popular day/time - and I see no reason we can't have a handful of days times when people meet. Similarly, if a new group 'meets' weekly, there's no reason some of those just appear on the first meet of the month - so although the meet is weekly, different people may be there each week on a monthly cycle !

Please note, you can vote for more than one day and in fact all days if you don't mind at all what day to meet. Hopefully, if I've got settings correct, I'll leave this as a live poll - meaning it will be there forever and you can change your mind at any time. This then should give poll results of when meetups are likely to take place !

On a global aspect, if people join in from all over the world, we could go for a world record longest meeting - started in 2021, still going continuously in 3021 as people around the world come and go as they please as it is active 24/7.

So, apart from the poll, any other feedback or suggestions on this would be welcome, thanks

Mike.
 
Do you have a professional zoom account? The reason the 'second Sunday of the month' ones are at a set time, is that you only get 45mins with a free zoom, and then you have to start again, with everyone logging in afresh (which we have done, but would be difficult to keep going all day, I’d have thought)

We won't be using zoom !!!
There won't be any login - open for all - and no cost either.
