I would love to have a local meetup if there are any Tinderbox users in the Bay Area. I live in Hayward, so I’m fairly central to North Bay, South Bay, and the City.
Is anyone else interested?
I own Tinderbox, but confess I’m still a bit intimidated—plus I have a bit of the perfectionist problem: I’m afraid to start till I know I will immediately create the most perfect Tinderbox file.
I must say that @beck has been amazingly inspirational and gives me hope!
Four in the Bay Area, four farther out. If those farther out plan on visiting the Bay Area, let me know and I’ll organize an impromptu gathering! I’m also happy to schedule a Zoom meeting for everyone, though my personal account is the free one, so groups over three are limited to 40 minutes. I might be able to use my work account; I’ll check.
I know November and December are a busy time of the year for most. Currently I’m free every Saturday and Sunday in November except Sunday, November 17. What about a November weekend day for a physical meetup? If we want to try a Zoom meeting, my workday usually ends around 1p or 2p PT
I’m in the East Bay. I would attend one at a mid-point that’s accessible by BART. Otherwise, the onerous drive is just not worth it, and the South Bay might as well be Los Angeles.
Is there a possibility of streaming/capturing some video of the meeting, or having a little bit of Facetime-style “drop-in” for remote TB users (even on the other side of the world) who would like to hear about the experiences of other users and participate in a meetup also please?
i have a zoom account, but it’s the free account, so meetings with three or more people are limited to forty minutes. since we use it at work all day long from the bay to scotland, i’ll ask IT or my manager if it would be ok to host a personal meeting (what’s the saying about forgiveness being easier to get then permission? ).
worst case: i create two back-to-back meetings or i create the first, someone else created the second!
east coast + west coast aren’t too challenging, but adding europe becomes a tad trickier. @Damir, which country? i know scotland is eight hours ahead. if west coast folk are OK with late morning saturday at 10a or 11a, that would only be 6p or 7p for europe.
we could aim for this coming saturday at 10a. does that work for our first meetup? and we can have others too, of course.
Jorge! Good to see you here!
