Hello, During the EasyBuild hackathon last week we got some input w.r.t. planing EasyBuild conference calls (which are long overdue).
After figuring out a time slot that works out well for most people (Tuesdays, 3pm CET), and looking into a good tool/service for hosting the conference calls, we now have it all worked out and planned. See the EasyBuild wiki page on conference calls [1] for all the details. In short: * we are going to use the Google Hangouts service, since it's 100% (as in beer) for everybody (and we feel it's pretty OK after fooling around with it in the office today) * the duration will be fixed (hard) to half an hour maximum, to keep the discussion focused and to allow people to plan this in * the first conference call is planned for next Tuesday, Nov. 5th 2013, 3pm CET To make it easy for people to join in, and to problems with so-called trolls during the conference calls, we are going to restrict the conf calls to members of the EasyBuild community on Google+ [2] for now. If you have any remarks or suggestions, do let us know! We may plan in additional slots which are more convenient for US West Coast and New Zealand too. In any case, we'll evaluate things after the first EasyBuild conference call. regards, Kenneth [1] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild/wiki/Conference-calls [1] https://plus.google.com/communities/103632287931200436158
