A monthly Gigatron meetup on Zoom.
Posted: 10 Mar 2021, 16:38
Hi All,
I'd like to put forward the suggestion for a regular monthly meetup for Gigatron enthusiasts on Zoom.
It would be an opportunity to meet other users, and learn what's happening in the rest of the Gigatron community.
It could take the form of a "show and tell" where users could talk about their latest developments, in the form of a presentation, where screens can be shared on Zoom. Talks would typically be 25 minutes with 5 minutes for Q&As.
At times there might be topics that need more time to explain, and these could take the form of extended talks or workshop sessions.
For those that just want to give an update on a recent project, a 5 minute "Lightning Talk" might be the preferred format.
Gigatron users are scattered all over the world, and finding an acceptable common timezone might be a challenge. I would suggest 16:00 GMT on a Saturday, as this could include Asia, Europe and North America.
I'd like to know what others think about this idea, and if feedback is positive, I'm going to suggest the third Saturday of the month as a regular slot. An agenda of speakers could be published on this forum about 1 week in advance.
I'm also going to be bold enough to suggest a name for the meetup "Gigatron Interest Group" or Gig for short.
