Social Web Incubator Community Group kick-off call
Posted on:Hello everyone,
We’re planning the first call for the SWICG. This will be on Friday, May 5th of 2017 at 4PM GMT. This will be a loose call, mostly talking about what’s currently happening in the federated social web and discussing what topics we’d like to take on as a group.
The call will be over the Mumble Voice over IP system, but will be transcribed to IRC. (Users unable or unwilling to speak over voice will be represented on the call by dictating their communication over the call.)
- Connect on IRC to #social on irc.w3.org
- Set up Mumble and connect to: dustycloud.org / port 64738 / password “goblincamp”. Join the Social Web Incubator Community Group channel.
Mumble is easy to use (and there are a couple of mobile clients available) but if this is your first time using it, please connect 15 minutes early to make sure your audio system is working correctly. You’ll need a microphone and to *wear headphones*… otherwise audio will echo and that’s no fun for anyone.
We’re still figuring some things out, but loosely, we’re following the Django Code of Conduct. If you’re unfamiliar, have a read of it!
That’s it… look forward to seeing you at the call!
Does the microphone on an Apple set of earbuds work for Mumble?
Yes! That works great. The only real thing to avoid is using the built-in speakers and microphone since that causes echo on the line.

IRC wont allow connecting without a password?
I won’t be able to make the call. I assume some form of minutes or notes will be available to catch up?
Yes! Minutes are now posted here: https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2017-05-05/minutes
