Nice idea.  It is really a pity that no OctConf did happen for two years
now.  I would be interest in such kind of meeting.  You have some nice
tool in mind to gather virtually?

 

Not really. Something we're going through at work now with upcoming meetings. We have a hardwired VTC system with an IP bridge that works well for people with that setup, but are starting to look at web based options for external universities, small businesses, etc.  Wouldn't mind hearing what others may be using and how they scale. 

Could kick that over to help list if it's worth general discussion. 

I think this is a great idea.  It's been a long time since we all got together.  As another plus, a lot of people are either in quarantine (see Italy) or are  voluntarily working from home, and boredom is a factor.

Previously we have just used the #octave IRC channel for sprints, but could consider something else.

Do we want a theme to the code sprint?  Or is this more of a social event and everyone will be hanging out and working on their own coding problems?
