Video Chats Every Wednesday, 10am Pacific #277

Open WardCunningham opened 12 years ago

WardCunningham commented 12 years ago

We're happy to announce that video chats are back and appear to be working better than ever. Please join us every Wednesday, 10am Pacific time, to learn, share and speculate about federated wiki.

http://bit.ly/SFWhangout

We're using Google's Hangouts which allow video, audio only and even text only participation.

We had a lively chat with great participants today. Bit.ly tells us that 60 people clicked the link. 70% from my provocative twitter post. Google only lets 10 in at a time so many failed to join us. We're exploring mechanisms for people to watch but not join. Since a number of our 10 slots were filled by people just listening, that sounds like a good idea. The recording of such hangouts need not be public.

Incidentally, my provocative twitter post was:

I've been considering a small wiki's role in a big data world. http://bit.ly/SFWhangout . Chat about this starts in 5 min.

Clearly, we should do more with big data or do more with Whangouts in San Francisco.

Adam Yuret offers this advice:

People who might be more participatory not being kept out while people who want to spectate don't have to join.

I broadcast the lean coffee hangout, I have no idea if anybody spectates the live stream but since people often talk about sensitive material I make the youtube recording private and add people as requested.

Made a screencast to demo the pratically invisible feature. http://screencast.com/t/oY2OBrrYCUk

I think Adam has a good point, it would also allow us to review some of the great discussions in the future, and possibly release short clips from the discussion as public youtube videos if we wanted.

Since we were talking about it this week I upgraded the rebase bookmarklet, https://gist.github.com/3669857

I'll try to make the next one. I was on a contract for a bit, did a bit of RoR from scratch generation and Extjs javascript on that, and I've been working on Wagn Json rendering and widgets a bit. Using jstree and jsgrid (jquery plugins) More here: http://wagn.org/Json_and_Xml_Renderer.
