I don’t know how things like this are supposed to work, but I’d like to run a reading session this weekend, Saturday April 25th, starting at 14:00 UTC, and a second, discussion session exactly one week after.
The idea for the first session is to have a time for people to read through the first paper, who have not already read through it, and for the second session it is expected to have read through the paper. Of course, the inevitable discussion during, is welcome.
I’ve never done anything like this, and infrastructure is pending, but I wanted to put this out there. I’m also open to someone else taking over completely.
There is a possibility that we might use something audio-only, like mumble, though I personally would not mind being able to see the people, who choose to be visible, so please leave a vote.
To be clear, the poll is about whether video should be supported, not whether enabling video should be required of participants.
To gauge attendance:
- I would like to participate
- poll dummy

Reading session:
- definitely need video
- video would be nice
- video is unnecessary
- video is detrimental
