Not yet. But I can certainly see Skype conf calls coming. Anybody interested in hosting a weekly podcast?

If you want to see at what local time the Poll times are go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html

Chris is on Los Angeles (PST) time. The 05:00:00 below is UTC.

Never. Scheduled meetings are too much like a day job.

This is an AWESOME Idea!

As far as the schedule goes I'd prefer Saturday Nite (10pm or such) to allow us (Euro DIYDroneLovers) to attend on an early Sunday AM.

Definitely up for a Skype-like meeting more than a type-all-you-can meeting.

Topics-wise, is it there any schedule? This way one will attend only when he/she is actually interested on the Subject of the Discussion (to address Jack's concern).

Can't we setup a board with the wishlist of the members?

Good Day
Stefano

Yes, announcing a topic list each week is a good idea. Once we settle on a time I can post a topic thread that people can put requests on.

I think Skype is probably the way to go eventually, but maybe we can start with text chat to get a sense of demand.

Sat night is too hard on social lives/wives, I fear.

ugh, i work Sundays 4-11

Comment by Caleb M on August 19, 2009 at 8:39am

I think every weekday at 9 or Tues/Wed at 9 would be a good idea. Make it one day only per week and its gonna cut alot of peeps out.

Daily Chat topics of some importance could be promoted to discussions on the main weekly Sunday Chat... and MidWeek Chat for those who can't attend main Weekend Chat, it could be Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to allow some time to prep Sunday's topics... or something similar.

I really like the idea of Skype conferences as well as recording it as a podcast (assuming there's a topic list) for anyone that doesn't make it.
