Why not! Everyone!

People might not see this guys. Please invite people personally too if you think they might be interested.

@peterparker ASAP sounds good to me, but I am afraid tomorrow might be too soon and people will miss out because they didn't find out in time. Let's wait until tomorrow evening to see how many people are interested, and then fix a time?

Okay why wait longer since so many people are here!


I hate to be the forms person, but can't think of a better way to figure this out, so please everyone fill this:

https://forms.gle/Han2sd8aUzAAWuN37

Have kept it only limited to Wednesday and Thursday because Friday is Dussehra and weekend might bring other plans for many people. 

Please only specify time slots if you are absolutely not free during other time slots. Otherwise please say anytime :)

For those who are missing, maybe we can do one more if all goes well :)

It’s great idea and I would have loved to join you guys but my social skills are not so good and I found it too difficult to communicate with people , I am working on it and hope one day I will be able to do that 

Hope you all will understand 

Just turn off camera and audio and sit quietly and listen to us if you like :) no pressure, it's completely okay. All we ask is send a poem :D

Would it be fine if I just sit there quietly in one corner and basically say/do nothing the entire time? :P

I'm a huge introvert. And even in groups of four or five, I'll be humesha quiet. I can't imagine being in a zoom meeting with 50 people and saying anything. 

That being said, this sounds like a great idea. It would be lovely to finally get to know you all in real life. :) 


Absolutely :D Sit quietly and watch me awkwardly tell jokes :P

Okay guys. I'm thinking we let the sheet fill up until 12 pm and then I'll post the winning time and day. I will add bar graphs and pie charts. Because I can 😎

@LetsGetThisBread there is no such thing as too much enthu...

Also guys, this is a chance to ask others questions you've also wanted to ask. Like  "Hey @Patootie, why are you so wise and always at the right time?", "Hey @SergioRamos, how are you so effortlessly cool and funny?", "Hey @whatonly, who was it who dropped you on the head as a baby?".

Some of you at least have to talk okay. Especially after having casually written 3,000 word essays on forum comments. :p

Sorry for the delay guys. Here are my findings:

Wednesday, 13th (tomorrow), 9-10

Day: clear winner 


Time: 9-10 PM seems to beat 11 AM-1 PM by a narrow margin. 13 people to 12. I know 11 AM - 1 PM would seem more comfortable to those of us at home, afternoons indeed are better to socialise (me too) :P But 9-10 seems to be best for working folks who won't be free during the day. So everyone who couldn't do 9-10 PM, please please try :) We will have more to talk about at the end of the day maybe!

@whatonly  is it going to be on zoom or Google meet??


I am thinking Zoom because it is so much more convenient and has better controls, especially for such a large group. But it has 40-minute limit. If it goes beyond that we would take a few seconds' break. Or if anyone is rich enough to have a pro plan please host it :P any better ideas?

@whatonly My streak of not having to download and use Zoom ends here 😂


😈

Google Meet ka main disadvantage is that you have to be signed in to join. Zoom has full anonymity.

@whatonly I think google meet is better with 100 participants and 60 min duration. Anyways either will suit me 


I am so tempted to make another poll on whether people would be willing to give up anonymity or make fake google accounts :P

I've google workspace account, if you'll are planning to host on gmeet. No restrictions on time and people.


@necromancer  backend team couldn't even handle your image on the website. 

Hey thanks for the offer! But I got hold of a pro zoom account so no restrictions either :D

Other than the jokes everyone must come prepared with?

An eye for an eye won’t make the whole world blind. There would be one person with one eye left. :P

Just make sure you've enough saved for 9 PM my friend. You are going to be the designated awkward silence rescuer :D

वर्षों तक वन में घूम-घूम,
बाधा-विघ्नों को चूम-चूम,
सह धूप-घाम, पानी-पत्थर,
पांडव आये कुछ और निखर।
सौभाग्य न सब दिन सोता है,
देखें, आगे क्या होता है।

So lovely :) 


And of course. I was thinking we could have a simple Open Mic :D
