Axe Talk

(1/5) > >>

Quigibo:
Get your sharpeners ready because I've decided to hold a weekly "Axe Talk".  It will be held in #omnimaga IRC and it will be an opportunity to ask questions, give suggestions, get help, debug, and other little things like that.  I will also be using the opportunity to get a feeling about what my priorities should be during development, get opinions about changes I plan to make, and what direction I should take the project in general.  I might also have some demos, screen shots, and even special beta versions for testing.

While I am unsure of what the permanent date and time will be, right now I am making the first one on Wednesday Aug 4th 9:00 PM PST.  Yes, I know that's tomorrow/today, sorry for the short notice.  I think the majority of the members here are from the US/Canada so I tried to pick a time when most people won't be busy with work/school but at the same time not unreasonably late.

In the US/Canada, that's:
8:00   PM Alaska Time
9:00   PM Pacific Time
10:00 PM Mountain Time
11:00 PM Central Time
12:00 (Midnight) Eastern Time


I'll probably be in there a little before 9:00 PST (my time zone) and then I'll try to stay as long as there's things to talk about.  I may also consider holding it twice a week if its successful enough.

Hope to see everyone there :).

DJ Omnimaga:
Mhmm, sounds like a cool idea, it should help having some real-time Axe discussion about features and stuff. 9 PM seems ok for now, but when school starts, I think it might be best to do them one hour earlier, maybe two in the worst cases, because several of our users are on the East Coast and are still living at their parents' home, meaning they are restricted in their bedtime hours. By 9 PM of your time, several people may be already sleeping over here. I guess what you could do is start checking the IRC logs when Late August arrives and if you notice that around 8 PM of your time, there's barely any activity, then maybe make those earlier for the days where there is school. Generally on Fridays and Saturdays, activity remains high late in the night, though.

Nice idea, I'll be working tonite, but I should be able to catch next weeks (as I will be on vacation).

*Edit* Just thought I'd mention that I'm east coast too(midnight bracket) but time would not be an issue for me. Perhaps if interested, people should post what time zone they are in. They can also post how/if it would affect them, so you can have a better idea of when your audience will be available.

nemo:
i like the idea. i'd rather have it earlier as for me this means they'll be held at midnight, but i'll try to catch them when i can.

Raylin:
Indeed. This sounds really awesome.

OH! Can we make a banner for it!?  :D
