Re: PilCon Schedule
Hi everyone, I will try to attend too. I think it is nice to just take a little time to meet each other and talk about whatever happens to come up, be it programming, Picolisp or life in general. If there are no topics, we can simply have a quick coffee together (even though everyone is in a separate location). We are a small community, but I have always found this to be a great opportunity to get to know people who share interests.

Re: PilCon Schedule
Hi all, no results. So I simply decide for 10th 8:00 UTC / 20th 16:00 UTC as the new schedule. I will be there next time (https://meeting.itship.ch/PilCon) on Wednesday, February 10th, at 8:00 UTC. If anybody has time, feel free to show up. I will not invest time to prepare topics, seminars, tutorials or recordings.

Re: PilCon Schedule
I suggest that we use something like meetup.com so that people can check the date of the next meetup and add it to their calendars.

Re: PilCon Schedule
Dear Mr Alexander, Maintaining a schedule page on wiki will be a good idea. PicoLisp is simplest (small) by definition and motivation, so least number of participants should not matter. Merit is not decided by number of people. In the iconic "The Unix Programming Environment" book by Kernighan & Pike, small number of developers (two) is mentioned at end of classic book, while examining the reasons for successful design of Unix. Thus, number of people do not matter, the sessions are extremely fruitful and we all gain a lot of insights. For me in particular asking my queries have been the best way to go forward. As far as I know it is possible to record in Jitsi application by the admin of the conference. https://jitsi.org/user-faq/#:~:text=The%20easiest%20way%20to%20record,and%20access%20the%20recording%20there

Hmm, not clear. In any case, attendance dropped significantly when we switched from Friday to Saturday (about 3 people the first two meetings, then 6), despite that the consense was that Friday is more of a problem due to day time jobs. The question is: Next meeting in February on the 5th or the 10th? Or is there no interest in general? Stop it? For me everything is fine. I enjoy also if we are just three ;) Same with the topics. Any is fine for me, but who and how to decide? Tutorials for beginners? Specialized Q & A? Presentations by anyone? Maintaining a schedule page on picolisp.com? The recording issue popped up here often, but could never be resolved. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Re: PilCon Schedule
Hi Davide, > What about making shorter seminars with a specific topic? It seems that > this is the favored way by many people and could be recorded for the > benefit of everyone. That would be fine for me. So we should propose, collect, filter and sort topics. Perhaps on a special Wiki page? > These could be tutorial for beginners, showing small projects, community > libraries, etc. Beginner support is important.

Re: PilCon Schedule
Oooops... I forgot to join this Saturday :-P Anyway, in general any day is fine for me, even if I may not be able to attend every time. What about making shorter seminars with a specific topic? It seems that this is the favored way by many people and could be recorded for the benefit of everyone. These could be tutorial for beginners, showing small projects, community libraries, etc. I would also keep some free Q sessions for shorter topics and general questions (like we have done till now) Regards, Davide On Mon, Jan 18, 2021, 08:35 Alexander Burger wrote: > Hi all, > > before and after the PilCon last Saturday the discussion about its > schedule came > up again. > > Currently we meet at the first and third Saturday each month, at 8:00 UTC > on the > first, and 16:00 UTC on the third. > > Before, we used the first and third Friday. > > It seems that Saturdays are not optimal.

PilCon Schedule
Hi all, before and after the PilCon last Saturday the discussion about its schedule came up again. Currently we meet at the first and third Saturday each month, at 8:00 UTC on the first, and 16:00 UTC on the third. Before, we used the first and third Friday. It seems that Saturdays are not optimal. Many people have other duties. In general, it is not possible to find a certain weekday where everybody can attend. So what if we discard the principle of weekdays, in favor of fixed *days*? I would propose the 10th and 20th of each month. This is easy to memorize, and will fall on all weekdays over time. The 10th would be at 8:00 UTC, and the 20th at 16:00 UTC. For me this would be all right, as I'm working from home office. What do you think? ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
