I just got a confirmation from McCap for December 5, his presentation will be at 2000UTC, mine probably 1900UTC. So would December 5 1800 UTC work for you? Can you please also give us a more precise title? Just “creating panoramas with Hugin”?

Works for me: Sat is better than Sun.

Jitsi is also a software :wink: And of course someone has to install BBB on a server and make it available to the public, as with Jitsi.

Just to name a few:

Senfcall: https://www.senfcall.de/
Piraten: https://bbb.piratensommer.de/
Daten-Reisen: https://bbb.daten.reisen/
linXXnet: https://bbb.linxx.net/
https://meeten.statt-drosseln.de/

And experience shows that at least the first one runs stable and without time limit (probably the demo instance on the BBB page?). One note however: These servers are located in Germany, so this could be a bit disadvantageous depending on the regional focus of the participants. There are others and certainly some in other countries.

Yes, Saturday December 5 at 1800 UTC works. For a title, how about “Creating exposure fused panoramas with Hugin”.

Mine will be about the color correction and the color toning tools in ART and RT.

I have been thinking about the topic and as I did play around a lot with color toning I would also like to do “Talk” about color toning.
So which topic would you prefer color toning or presenting the two tools mentioned above?
Keep in mind that though the tools are called color toning or color correction they can do so much more.

Let me know
:slight_smile:

I’d certainly be up for joining in.

As to what to use, we recently used Google meet to do a few sessions with a vendor on their software, it worked well enough with screen sharing etc.

Maybe color toning?

@Karl did we test your screensharing yesterday? I think we did, didn’t we?

@McCap I will ask you for a quick technical test session a few days before December 5, so we check that everything (screensharing etc) works properly (since you were not present at the test session yesterday).

Yes we did, it worked well.

So when will be the next meeting? And in which time zone?
I guess not before January 4?
Who wants to present/talk about something?
I will be very happy if there is a second meeting but on the other hand there is no pressure. We could have a meeting e.g. on January 9, or 2 weeks later or 2 months later. This is really just for fun.

I’m planning on some office hours where I’ll edit using filmic, but not until after the dt 3.4 release.

Did the meeting push through? I’m quite interested to listen in :slight_smile:
Where can I see the meeting details for the next one?
I’ll also be happy to assist in the UTC+8 zone.

I think the plan is that the next meeting will be in the UTC+X (American?) timezone. If it will be in the evening in the Americas it’s a bit difficult for me here in Europe to organize it or even participate if it’s way past midnight here, nevertheless I might show up for some time.
I guess we are still waiting for more feedback and suggestions concerning the date/talks/presentations/live edits etc. Afterall we cannot force anybody to participate, can we? :smiley:
I suppose it is too soon after Christmas and many members here are still not quite back from their holidays/family time?
But since you suggested to assist - maybe you can make more suggestions concerning a date etc.?

USA timezones are all UTC−X. (For example, USA/Chicago is UTC-6 right now).

I’m ready for another meeting and will do my best to support any time (kids permitting :wink: ).

I would like another meeting. The first one was fun.

Show your kids the ropes (the idiom, not the noose :sweat_smile:).

Ok. So I would like to suggest a date, even though I probably won’t be able to participate properly:

What about February 6, 24:00 UTC (if I am correct that’s the same as February 7, 0:00 UTC)? that should be 7 p.m. in New York City, 4 p.m. in Los Angeles, 8 a.m. in Manila and 1:00 a.m. in Berlin.

Better to see it as Sun, Feb 7, 00:00 UTC. For me, that would be Sat, Feb 6, 7 PM.
