Appropedia:Appropedia Jam: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:00, 15 October 2013

We've had a number of online Appropedia Jams, and some in person in Arcata.

For the time being, the online jams are not being held. If you'd like to organize and promote the jams, please leave a message at User talk:Chriswaterguy.

This is a monthly editing "jam" with internet chat - we get together online (and in person where possible) and edit articles, help each other out, ask and answer questions, and talk about Appropedia. As this is new, we may try out different chat tools, so check here for details each month. You can also join the Appropedia Working Group to help with planning.

Easiest option for connecting to IRC: enter via the Freenode Web Chat. Enter a username and connect.

-'''When''': See the [http://bit.ly/VP7ktT '''time in your time zone'''] (based on your computer clock). E.g.:
-* ''The Americas'': Sunday afternoon
-* ''Europe and Africa'': Sunday evening. Around the middle of the night (sorry!) in Eastern Europe and Eastern Africa).
-* ''Asia, Australia and New Zealand'': Monday morning
-'''Theme''': Bring your questions!
-Join the chat and get help with your article, or find out what you can do to improve Appropedia, or ask any question about Appropedia.
-'''What you need''': You can just join in, but if you want guidance in making an article, it's a good idea to pick a topic you want to work on, beforehand.
-'''Where''' (virtual meeting place): IRC - see [[#Joining the channel]] below. (If you have trouble getting on, send a message to {{email|chriswaterguy|appropedia|org}}, and/or call Chris on +61-439-471-632 (Australia). We also have '''[http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/appropediajam this Etherpad]''' (collaborative notepad) that we sometimes use for shared notes - just type in a username and you can start editing.

 == Details for future events ==
-'''Day''': Second Sunday of each month. (That's the Monday morning in Asia & Oceania.)
-'''Time''': 9pm GMT. We'll give a few local times around the world each time, and you can also look up the time in your own timezone (see the [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html Time Zone Converter] to convert from "UTC/GMT").
-'''Virtual meeting place''': [[Appropedia:IRC]]
-''Tips''':
-* If you're in a timezone that uses daylight saving, or if you sometimes change timezones, then adding the event as a recurring event can be very difficult in Google Calendar. Instead, subscribe to this calendar: [https://www.google.com/calendar/b/1/embed?src=appropedia.org_fsb06atcdjctk67jpu88uo7qo4@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=Etc/GMT&gsessionid=AFXLCkYN7g5SuiAqSp2NbA Appropedia online events]. (Click the "Add this calendar" button, bottom right. This should add the event to your calendar in your correct local time each month. It ''may'' adds a grey GMT timescale to your calendar... but hopefully not!)
-These were new events in 2012, and we're expanding them for 2013.
 === Face-to-face Appropedia Jams ===
-These may be held together with the online jam or at different times. Face-to-face jams are planned for 2013 (details to be confirmed) in:
-* '''Arcata, California''' - Appropedians at [[HSU]] and from the community
-* '''Melbourne, Australia''' - with the '''Melbourne Appropedia Working Group''' (new in 2013) and partner organizations.
-How about your city? Leave a note on [[User talk:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy's talk page]] with you questions and ideas.
