Zegnat GWG: I love the idea of a social event. Or at least, for remote things, to have times set aside for “mingling”.

#
[jgmac1106] where are we meeting in Animal Crossing?
#
jeremycherfas !tell zegnat How do you do one-on-one mingling in Zoom? Breakout rooms? (Never used them)
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
Naptra joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] zegnat I like your and gwg about three parallel event/times, and I am happy to help organize the utc-4 event with folks
[KevinMarks] and swentel joined the channel
#
Zegnat I wouldn’t plan parallel events, I would plan just the one event, honestly. One event, one weekend. I could see timeboxing maybe for multiple “welcome” and “demo” slots, for people to be able to vary start and end of the event. But again, for me, socialising and meeting indieweb people is the essence of the event and for that I would love to focus people all being there simultaneously as much as possible
#
Loqi Zegnat: jeremycherfas left you a message 1 hour, 9 minutes ago: How do you do one-on-one mingling in Zoom? Breakout rooms? (Never used them)
#
Zegnat Then again, my view is skewed, because I have attended 2 (?) IWS remotely from start to finish, although being in a terrible matchup time wise for Portland :P
#
Zegnat jeremycherfas: I have not had a chance to try breakout rooms yet, so I am not sure how well they function. But even just passively hanging in a central call would be something I’d do. And then maybe ping specific people in text chats.

#
[jgmac1106] I find it way too hard to timeshift my life, the intros, keynote, demos, easier than the shared hack day and demo time, mess those up.
#
GWG Zegnat: Re parallel events... whether you call it that, timeboxing, etc.... trying to get everyone on one timezone didn't quite work
#
[jgmac1106] I was liking gwg ideas like the three 2014 events, maybe one day of shared events and distributed hackdays
#
[jgmac1106] wonder though if my interest to be at a weekend long remote conference will wane after a week of M-F remote teaching...why I miss so many HWCs
#
[jgmac1106] just zoomed out
#
Zegnat If we do three parallel, and I see most signups go to the US one, I will “timeshift” there. So I may be the wrong person to ask ;)
#
GWG I want to keep the conversation going on planning this so we can tweak it
#
[jgmac1106] why you are the EU co-facilitator, gwg didn't tell you that yet?
#
GWG I am just pushing brainstorming right now
#
[jgmac1106] yeah I assume utc-7 would be most popular, followed by utc+1-3, and then utc-4, but all speculation
Naptra joined the channel
#
Zegnat I’ll be focusing my availability on the most popular timebox, so I am probably not the best EU facilitator
#
Zegnat For those of us not geographically inclined, what is UTC-7 vs UTC-4? West coast vs East coast US?
#
GWG I think West Coast and East Coast can sort of work. West Coast, East Coast, and Europe can't easily
#
GWG It is UTC-7, UTC-4, and UTC/UTC+1.
#
Zegnat We are on DST, so technically UTC+1 and UTC+2 for West and Central EU.
#
GWG Yes, either way, 3 hours between East Coast and West. And 5-6 hours between there and Europe, so a 9 hour spread
Naptra joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] then maybe just a UTC-7 and a UTC+1...I keep farmer hours and demo time is dinner time with three kids, would like option to hop over to UTC+1 rather than UTC-7
#
[jgmac1106] usually I am still off on timezones and am at IWC EU from Portland anyways......those are long days
