How about we have an agenda? Nothing terribly formal but just something like this:
18:00 - 18:05:
Short introduction of participants (maybe only of new faces?).
18:05 - 18:35:
Presentations and Q and A for the presenters, maybe pick one or two very rather specific topics.
Nothing like “this is my RawTherapee workflow from A to Z.” Maybe we could do a separate session for that or a more live stream type thing?
18:35 - 18:50:
Topic discussion among the group about one or two of the topics @betazoid suggested since those seem to be more of a “what do you use or what’s your opinion on this thing” type topics. Would be interesting to hear more than one person’s idea on those IMO.
18:50 - 19:00
Wrap up, tech support questions from the chat if anyone has something another person can answer, etc.
Just a suggestion and I just made up the times/length for example purposes. I don’t mean to have rigid times either just sort of a skeleton to work around.
Perhaps some discussion of GIMP? While much has been covered regarding dt, perhaps photographers would find some discussion of GIMP, and how it differs from and compliments dt would be useful.
How about lesser known / used apps such as Krita, PhotoFlow, ART and Natron? Would love to have an intro or discussion of them at some point in the future.
Also worth discussing is this, or something related.
There is no plan! The plan is: first come first served.
I was a bit busy during the last weeks, I did not ask anybody to present something. So I’d say it will be a casual meeting. We do have some toppics to discuss, don’t we?
I also want to add the LGM to the list - is it even going to be a legal event?
Well. Maybe one more thing: I’d say @patdavid can join whenever he wants. I will let him in.
Maybe we can “compile” the participants’ list more spontaneosly, e.g. if a VIP wants to join maybe someone else can leave? Anyway I don’t feel like keeping lists and choosing the participants - but maybe you do? Plus, there might be people who sign up and then don’t show up.
It amuses me that you arrange a meeting in different time zones, the sunday when clocks go forward…just to sort out the uninitiated!
Hope it went well, I would hope to attend a session at some point…
