I find G+ convenient. It will be very inconvenient, however, to wake
up at 9AM on a Sunday morning. Sorry. I'll be very happy to join you
in some future chats scheduled at different times!

I'd be interested in joining, even though it means getting up early >.<
I want to speak with rlpowell at least once in a voice chat, right?

I've already privately e-mailed you my skype name.

Uuuuuuh.

When we talked, I said "any time in the afternoon my time". 6am is
rather a lot before noon. I will not be there at that time.

For me, the most important aspect of the technology is that someone
is recording the session; I hope y'all will figure that out, because
I simply don't have the time.

[gleki]

9am is not very convenient for me either. So please tell what day and what time is best for you so that we can split into groups spread throughout the week.

Times that are always automatically ruled out for me:

11PM until 11AM EST every night (sleeping/oversleeping)
8AM until 6PM EST every weekday (working/commuting)
6PM until 11PM on the first and third Thursday of each month (running
a game night at my hacker space)

Using that as a guideline, these times are not always automatically
ruled out for me:

Saturdays and Sundays: 11AM through 11PM EST.
Monday through Friday: 6PM through 11PM EST.

The schedule of my free time is mostly filled up about two weeks in advance.

I suggest 10PM through 11PM EST, Sunday June 24.

That's agreeable to me. That makes it, what, 7p.m. for Robin, yes?

Also, I'm going to look into how to record the session and which service is more suited to that.

(Robin has my name for both services.)

Okay, to record a session in G+:

Start a "hangout", then choose option to broadcast/record.  Up to 10 people can participate, any number of people can watch.

Skype:

Download one of the apps here: http://shop.skype.com/apps/Search-Results.html?q=&category=Call_recording_audio_video&cost=free&lang=&os=&date=&sort=rating#results
(There are more than just the four listed on that page, but they require money.)

Follow the instructions for the particular app.


It looks to me like G+ would be much easier for the recording thing. From what I've read, Skype has the same 10 person video limit, is harder to record sessions with, and doesn't allow people beyond the 10 to at least watch.

[Jonathan Jones]

(I also think G+ would be easier for starting a session in the first place, as well, simply because most if not all Lojbanists are already connected to each other. (I personally have 54 people in my "Lojban" circle).)

[la .lindar.]

I currently control the social media sites for the LLG. If you'd like me to broadcast when they're happening, or if you'd like to log into the LLG page and run the Hangout from that (so you have access to the 150+ people following) I'd be happy to set that up for you.

It's not the first time we are trying to gather together.

Due to the fact that we are spread over almost all time zones.
I'll be available

6am    San Fransisco

9am    New York

14:00  London 

17:00  Moscow

21:00  Beijing

Robin changed the time to  https://www.facebook.com/events/336288243114887/ 

I suggest that everyone tells when and what day they are free to talk so that we can split ourselves into groups.

Is there any software where several people can mark their free time so that others can see who is currently available for voice chat?

If no one answers this question then I'll create a shared google spreadsheet so that everyone can write their free hours there.

[Robin Lee Powell]

14:00 San Fransisco
17:00 New York
22:00 London
01:00am Monday June 25 Moscow
05:00am Monday June 25 Beijing
