Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday March 23 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

Ugh. Thanks all

Thanks for organizing it. I thought it was going to be much shorter too, but it was great fun!

Thanks for organizing, cow! Sorry I couldn't stay long this time.

Small suggestion for next week: Maybe include a requirement / suggestion for people to include their forum handle when signing on with Zoom so we can know who they are on FT?

Interesting way of doing the DO. Even though not having drinks or snacks felt a little awkward (I finished a family sized bag of chips before joining the conference).

thanks for organizing and will definitely join the next one!!!

Agreed. I was one who forgot, and then couldn't figure out how to change it. Next time.

Yes, I suggested it once or twice while the Do was ongoing, but I think some people couldn't quite figure out how to change the name.

It's not too late to do once you're logged on. Just click the the little "..." in the top right corner of your screen and you should be able to edit your screen name.

Thanks to everyone who joined last night. It was fun and the only victim was most of a bottle of Ardbeg. Looking forward to next week!

Sorry I had to bug out early. It was interesting placing some faces to names. And here I thought I was one of the only relics around from the boomer generation. I wasn’t even sure how many of the millennials etc would connect the dots between Sopwith, Snoopy and the WW 1 flying ace .

Thanks for organizing, looking forward to the next one.

Thanks for coming out everyone!

I still can't believe we lasted over 10 hours.

Seems like we'll be doing the same thing again next weekend.

Did you set it up as a recurring meeting or will we need a different link to join next weekend?
