An idea was hatched by Fee tonight at MEGA. The possibility of a regular
virtual hack session (using Google+ hangout or IRC or similar) for people
that can't get to the hack sessions regularly, but want to be more
involved. This could maybe work for the parents that have trouble finding
time between work and kids to attend the sessions physically.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in, reply and let us
know which days and times would be good for you.

The platform is irrelevant really because it should change to fit the types
of projects being undertaken, such as the use of a webcam, headset or
whatever other apparatus (could even stream data input from one project
over the net to another).
I would be willing to participate but I can't commit routine times,
generally weekends are my friend at the moment though.
Fee why are you asking for permission? This is the internet. :)

Great idea :) I'm often online during a hack session and would love to be
able to interact or see what's going on. I was hoping one of the benefits
of having a hack adl

Sounds like a good plan, not that those with family will be able to participate virtually the whole session time either, but it does allow for a "pop-in pop-out" from time to time which would be really nice.
The only issue I can see is having the "special somebody" who wants to set-up and keep it running at each session, which is a big ask, put if someone is keen that is great, but experience tells me we all need to make sure as a group we give that person lots of ongoing encouragement and never criticise when things go wrong.

I'd imagined that this would be independent of (but possibly an important
catalyst to) getting some kind of virtual component to the physical hack
sessions.
So I imagine a time separate to our physical hack sessions where all the
participants are online. Then having the possibility for people to somehow
dial-in to the physical hack session. But I imagine the two experiences
would be quite different as in the latter case, the people at the space
will not have much spare attention for the online participants, so the
online participants would form a kind of island of interaction.
But this is only how it looks in my head. Feel free to discus.

This is exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for!
I could see this working well on an ad-hoc basis - I don't usually know
much in advance when I'm going to get time for a decent at-home hack
session. If there was an IRC channel or Google+ hangout I'd probably sit
on there while working on something, and use it to bounce ideas off people
who are of like mind, where I need a quick response instead of going to
email or facebook. Likewise I'd be happy to explain what I was doing to
anyone who asked.
It's also a great way to learn from others, as I'm sure within our group we
have some experts with very strong skills in narrow areas, as well as some
generalists who know a bit about everything. It's also good to feel a
'part of something' instead of being a lone hacker late at night.
I just read the blurb page on Google+ hangouts (
http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts/?hl=en) and they look like just
the thing. Next time I'm working on something I'll login there and post to
the list so anyone interested can virtually pop in and say hi.
Having the set times could work better for some people - it's all free, so
why not try both?
Cheers
Steve

wicked! sounds like all this is coming together :)
re google hangouts, you ca create a google circle and then share it. praps
all interested parties make sure they're added to the google+ hackadl &
steve (or whoever runs that) can set up a shared circle from there?

re the live combo of physical & online hack sessions - i'd seen these as
separate sessions too, but it is possible to have a sort of 'live tweeter'
role in the room.
i do a lot of live tweeting and can happily go through the basic best
practice stuff before i head off on the road trip if anyone is interested.
hey, look, there's a skill i can actually CONTRIBUTE to hackadl! aww, it'd
be nice to give sommat back for once :)

Yes I think one of my next hack sessions at home will be to mount a camera above that looks down on the work bench and connecting to a Adelaide Hackerspace G+ hangout when I'm working or just generally might be an idea.
