I've used Google Meet for this type of meeting before.

It's entirely web based so there is no annoying desktop specific client to
install.  And even though it is a Google product, it can be used without a
Gmail ID.  I've hosted several long meetings for the PCjr users with it and
it works well.

We had a great time on the FreeDOS virtual get-together this morning!
A lot of great conversation on several topics. I loved hearing about
Bernd's math/CS class that he's teaching; we shared a lot of ideas for
a DOS-based student project. I always lose track of time - I
"advertise" that the meeting will be an hour, but I plan for an hour
and a half .. but we went for almost two hours today. :-)

I really do like getting together on video with folks. We're more than
just an email address. Would be great to have more FreeDOS developers
on the next video get-together (the next one will be "technical").

As I mentioned in my earlier email, this was the last get-together
that will use BlueJeans. They are shutting down the service. I used
BlueJeans to provide online/remote training and workshops for my
consulting business, but I haven't had a client ask for an online
program in quite a while. So I'm not in a rush to buy into a new
meeting platform. I'm looking into options (not looking for advice) so
that means the next video call will use something new. Might not be
the final platform that I choose, maybe just something to try out.

Since I need time to find a new video meeting platform, I don't think
we'll have a meeting in October. I'm thinking about mid-November, to
avoid the US Thanksgiving weekend. I'll send a "save the date" email
well in advance so we can plan ahead.

Re: [Freedos-devel] FreeDOS virtual get-together on Sunday!

2023-04-16 Thread Ray Kuo
Hi,


My name is Ray Kuo. I’m from Taiwan. I watched Jim’s

Video about how to program on FreeDOS. It helped me a lot and attracted me.
Then I read some articles which were written by Jim about FreeDOS from the
web site of FreeDOS and opensource.com. I felt that the project of FreeDOS
is so interesting and I want to learn more about it. So I subscribe the
mail about FreeDOS from sourceforge. I knew that you all will have a
meeting each month from mail. I want to join with you. My native language
is not English. I can’t speak English very fluently so I’m a little shy and
nervous. I’m sorry to join the meetings suddenly and without saying hello
before the meeting. But I’m so happy to join with you and listen to you
talking about FreeDOS. From the meeting I saw the demo of “LOGGER” and I
will try it.


I hope I can join your meeting next time .


Sincerely,


Ray Kuo

Thanks to everyone for joining today's FreeDOS virtual get-together! I
really appreciate getting to know everyone as more than just a name
behind an email.

Folks dropped in and out as they had time. I think we had a dozen
folks during the get-together.

We do these monthly, so if you weren't able to join today, you can
join us next time. We alternate topics for each video call; this month
was "social time," next month is "technical." See you then!

Thanks to everyone who joined today's FreeDOS virtual get-together! Folks
dropped in and out as they had time, and I think we had a dozen folks total
who joined.

Great opportunity for live debugging and testing.

We'll do it again in 2022!
