Event type: 
Online meeting (eg. IRC meeting)

NOTE: TIME CHANGE!!

Please use this: http://www.worldtimeserver.com/convert_time_in_UTC.aspx?y=2008&mo=5&d=26... to figure out when it is. :P (hint: 0.5 hours from now or less)

Sunday, May 25, the day before Summer of Code officially kicks off, we'd like to host a webcast for all Summer of Code students who can make it to introduce themselves, ask any general community questions that you'd like to know before digging in, and generally get to know each other a bit.

Anyone is welcome to join in and listen or help answer questions, but please note that the this session is specifically geared toward getting our Google SoCers up to speed. Students, if you have topics you want covered please reply to this post so we can try and grab someone to be in the room specifically to answer them. And everyone else, feel free to stop by, hear what this gang will be up to, and lend your expertise!

Note: Students, please check out http://groups.drupal.org/node/6063 for instructions on connecting with TeamSpeak. Since you will be talking on the audiocast you get to be "teachers." :) Join #drupal-dojo on irc.freenode.net before the lesson, as we'll be using that to field questions from the "audience"

If people could try and give this a dry run-through before the call, that'd be spiffy. :)

Time zone?

ximo's picture

I assume the time zone is GMT, and not GMT-8 like the event says? Anyway, I won't be able to attend as I'll be working tomorrow :(

I'd also like to know if it will be recorded.

Wooops! Timezone correction

The timezone has been corrected to 6pm GMT. Thanks for the heads-up, ximo!

Iffy time

c.lam's picture

I might not pop in on time / at all, since that's 11am PDT and I'm going to be out on Sunday morning.

Shoot, maybe best to reschedule...

webchick's picture

I'll see how many people show up, and we might push this to next weekend or something.

But yes, it'll be recorded, assuming it's still on. :)

So far, 4-5 students

So we're still on. Come by if you're around in 2 hours. :)
