Hey Australian guys
We will make a Community Call, a call where all the OTS chapters get together and share their last/upcoming events, workshops, ideas or even raise their questions/dubs.
Call will be on Google Hangouts on 27.04 at 7pm Berlin time.
If you relaly cannot attend it, you can even just write me some notes about how is going there and anything else you would communicate to us.
FYI: This Call will be done every month around 15th. Chek it out Discourse!
Sorry for the delayed response, Iāve been flat out, and assumed somebody more senior than myself may respond to you. This meetup is at 3AM Melbourne time, so I seriously doubt Iāll be able to make it, and given the lack of response from anybody else, I doubt they will either, so hereās a summary of the status down here in Melbourne.
After our last meetup for Software Freedom Day in September, we tried several times to pin down a time for a subsequent meetup, but we couldnāt get enough of us available on any one day to make it viable. Finally, in early February, I, @projectgus, @steven and @attlebish, decided (in a private thread; I didnāt notice it didnāt go to the Google Group so you wouldnāt have seen it) to put the Melbourne Chapter into indefinite hiatus unless somebody else was able to help out. Iām not sure whether that help was officially requested or whether we even publicly announced our hiatus. I certainly didnāt do either of these things myself, as Iām still relatively new to OTS and didnāt want to step on the toes of the other organisers before getting a better feel for how the organisation worked. Iād suggested that I could occasionally combine an OTS meetup with one of the Open Knowledge Foundation meetups I run, but havenāt been able to sort that out as yet.
So thatās us, unfortunately. On behalf of the team down here, sorry for the radio silence. Hope your meeting goes well. Will it be recorded?
Iām sorry, I totally missed this until I saw Mattās reply just now. Iād been skimming the āCommunity Callā discussions as notification emails came through, but I missed these ones that were particularly directed at us. Thanks for the specific invite, though!
As Matt says, weāve unfortunately put things on hold down here. Broadcasting that to a wider audience was something I said I would do and hadnāt done, so Iām sorry for that. Iāll put it out more widely today or tomorrow.
@mattcen, regarding seniority, I donāt think we have any particular hierarchy so please feel free to speak up on our behalf any time you would like to.
I hope the Hangout/Meeting goes well, folks. Will keep an eye out for anything that comes from it.
Hey guys, thank you very much fo rthe answers!
And sorry we didnāt take in account is late night in Australia, it was kind of last minute organisation for us as well.
