Kangaroo, I saw that you are going to make a community podcast. Are you going to host it in this meeting?

Kangaroo692 · Post by **Kangaroo692** » March 11th, 2015, 6:00 pm

I don't know what you mean? I wasn't planning on it, but if everybody else agrees, I will. I'm not sure what it would be like.

Yay! I'm getting more and more excited every day!

So am I! Anybody thought of a meeting for the 28th? If so, let's not start it until this finishes. If this is a success, we could make this meeting an every-other-week thing, with different people suggesting times?

Sure! I can help you if you need it - I may attend it every week

Question for an admin: Do you think it would be OK to have a wiki page about LibriVox Online Meetings?

Cori · Post by **Cori** » March 16th, 2015, 11:55 am

Not really.

And I know that sounds like a killjoy answer, but here's my reasoning:

People are FAR, FAR more likely to read news and dates here than in the wiki. Having a thread with a new post each time a meeting is planned, means that interested parties can follow that one thread, so it's easier to build up critical mass in attendees. The wiki page can't do that. You also maintain all the flexibility of a forum to decide as a group 'actually, we'll shift this meeting to an hour later' or 'we'll be talking about lady detective novels in the next session'.

A wiki is good for reference material -- I don't think there's anything to reference here. Once a meeting is over, there's no benefit to having a record of who attended and what time/date it was. If something is recorded, that can be put into a project or podcast, I can't imagine many people would listen to meetings in undigested form.

I think it's over-formalising an appropriately lightweight process, and I don't see the use of that.

Good answer Cori. And it made me think of more questions to ask!

we'll be talking about lady detective novels in the next session'.

I never even thought about what we'd be talking about. Does anybody have any idea? What did you talk about in the last meeting?

jessieyun0404 · Post by **jessieyun0404** » March 16th, 2015, 2:51 pm

I talked about 'How did you become a LV volunteer' and 'Microphones and Audacity'... That was the largest topics

Kangaroo692 · Post by **Kangaroo692** » March 16th, 2015, 3:46 pm

What do you think we should focus on this time?

jessieyun0404 · Post by **jessieyun0404** » March 16th, 2015, 5:44 pm

I don't know...

Maybe we can talk about our favorite recordings in LV?

Kangaroo692 · Post by **Kangaroo692** » March 16th, 2015, 5:45 pm

Maybe... or maybe what books we like to record? Or both?!?

Roohi · Post by **Roohi** » March 16th, 2015, 5:53 pm

since this is my first meeting .. i don't know what to say...
yes, what books we would like to record is a good one.
