I’m very tech-illiterate and have a very hard time managing responsibilities responsibly, but I’d certainly be willing to give it a try if someone could walk me through it.
Discord could help in this way too. Easy to hop on and off video with your phone. Just a boomers video chat channel that’s always clickable and others can see you’re in there if they want to join.
I only ever get on discord for “the board” so I’m unfamiliar. I’ll have to check it out.
That definitely sounds easier than doing a zoom meeting, if I’m understanding correctly. So, it would just be a channel that would always be “open”, that anybody could come and go as they please, without anyone having to “start” the meeting?
Exactly. It’s just a channel on the discord and when you click it you enter a video chat room on the app. We could even have an easy password on it like “BOOMERS” so it’s easy to get access but not any random person can enter without doing a little research.
Oh and before you click it there’s a drop down that shows everyone already in it, so you know if it’s empty or poppin’.
Tech I can help with. we have several folks in that space able to help out.
responsible. I mean have you seen me. I’m not exactly on time with anything if committed to.
honestly willingness to help and the ability to say, “hey we going to meet at x time and date” and telling whoever is helping you to setup the meetup is all that’s needed. Your basically just an event coordinator in this role if you so choose to volunteer and at any time you can say nah I’m not feeling it.
Thats a good idea we can get Jake to set that up for us very easily then whoever (aka @Yodaddyo) can just drop a message here saying “yo we on the discord” or whatever
It could be like an open door thing where anyone can pop in anytime so we wouldn’t need any one single person to initiate it (like, I assume, Cody does for the meetings). Just a place to go and throw with other people.
As much as I’d love to take on the responsibility of hosting a weekly throw sesh, I just don’t think I’d be reliable enough, at this point in my life. I’m sure that could change, but atm I’ve got too many things demanding my attention.
I could definitely hop on at random times and be like, “throw sesh on discord!” though. That is something I could handle. And, if I’m picking up what you guys are putting down, so could anyone else? Is that correct?
Sorry I’m a little late to the comment party, but first of all, I had every intention to rejoin, however, right as I clicked the join button, we starting having power outages, which eventually consolidated to the rest of the night. Didn’t get it until well after midnight.
@Slestak75 +1 for always being down for a zoom call, personal or group. I’m not one for social interactions, myself, however, I enjoy like minded company, especially when we all have at least one thing in common (in this case, yoyos specifically, but it seems we all have more in common than I initially expected)
Fwiw, I’m the kind of person that enjoys vibing with the group. I enjoy listening to other’s talk. Tyipcally, I’ll really only speak unless either I’m specifical mentioned or I know I can help
I also am proficient in the GoogleBing (although I think there are others in this club that have more experience than I do (but I’m a quick study and willing to learn)
