Portland Skype-in for Sun. Mar 16 Salem Meeting

[Antares]

Anyone in Portland want to meet somewhere to try to Skype into the Salem meeting on Sunday? I personally have not used Skype before, but I can't make it to the meeting. I live in Sellwood but have a car and can get to Downtown etc. However, I will only be able to stay through about 3 p.m. (the reason I can't go is I have an engagement in Portland from about 3:30.) Thoughts?

I'll send you guys a box of Pocky so your meeting can enjoy Pocky Club's hospitality.

If all else fails, I'd be up for that.  Nobody seems to want to give Washy a ride.

I have the Skype account active at the moment.  So you can try to connect and resolve any connection issues.  I am also trying to get other work done, so you may not get an answer right away.

Huzzah for technology?!  (Thinks about all the other work I need to get done today...)

Thanks for your patience everyone, once this is in place and working most of the staff will be able to pitch in during the meetings.

I got your email mike, thanks

It probably would have been good if I could have reserved a private room at  a library or something. We can't Skype in a public place since it's too loud. Unless we all have blue tooth or something (I've never used before). I was going to Skype from my house but I have to leave half way through meeting.... maybe we should Skype in from home since we tried to get a group together but it didn't work out this time.

This might be the perfect duty for the regional Street Team leaders - they could be in charge of getting a room somewhere or hosting at their house a get together for remote meetings. Just a thought.

Skype limits us to a total of 10 participants.  We should have a light number of people trying to Skype in, so I think we'll be fine.

In the future we will give preference to groups over individuals to get the most participation in the meetings.

You have a great idea for the Street Team leads, that would give the local crowd a single point of contact and allow the folks putting the meeting together to pull in each site with a minimum of difficulty.  That is awesome!   

Thanks Antares!
