Hi Jessie, It looks like we have a great team forming up here! From the results of the whenisgood survey it appears 7:00AM MST is our best opportunity to get the most people in the hangout. Because the ADL registration is Friday and some wanted a quick meeting ahead of time, I guess tomorrow is going to be it. Sorry for the late notice, I have just been waiting for more people to respond to that (and honestly hoping for something a little later in the day) but thats ok. I am honored to a part of this team and even more so if those you mentioned did join us as well. This will be the first hangout video group hangout I have attempted to host, but will do my best to try and record the session for those who miss. Some in this email are still on the fence or have declined but others not on this list have joined so I am going to add them here and hope to see as many as possible tomorrow morning 1/29/2015 @ 7AM MST!
I really feel the combination of TiddlyWiki with xAPI has great potential towards this goal and could be a great base for a short term project that may grow into an amazing resource!
