I think was there for 20 minutes and nothing happened. -- Andrew. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-03-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
Re: [Dorset] Next Meeting - One Week Tonight
It wasn’t so much that I was unaware of the changes, it was the fact that Jitsi would not show others waiting in the lobby. If we were all sat there waiting, and we could see each other, then I would have signed in with one of my many suitable accounts.

Re: [Dorset] Next Meeting - One Week Tonight
I tried at least 3 times before finally getting in and we spoke about the 'new' system. We closed early as we did not know that people had been waiting! As Hugh said it was not helpful that we did not know things had changed. In future I'll try to join the meeting later. On 27/02/2024 10:49, Hugh Frater wrote: Ralph, well remembered...

That almost certainly explains what happened last month.

Presumably, you're are normally the moderator when you attend and so it's a surprise to the others that it's required and one of them has to finally take it on for the meeting to start?

This should have gone to the list and not straight to Ralph.

Re: [Dorset] Next Meeting - One Week Tonight
Ralph, well remembered... I was going to post a message explaining the same shortly after last month's meeting but forgot. It would seem that Jitsi will not notify others in the lobby when lobbyMembersWaiting >1, which seems a bit weird. Everyone just sits there thinking they are the only ones waiting for a moderator. That almost certainly explains what happened last month.

[Dorset] Next Meeting - One Week Tonight
Hi, The next Meeting will be one week tonight; Tuesday, 2024-03-05 at 20:00 using Jitsi. Details are as for the previous meetings and will be reposted on the day. Unless the forecast changes significantly between now and then, I'll be going to the Midlands next week, so I probably won't be around again. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-03-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
