How to Participate

Part 1: The Live Stream

The first portion of the meetup will be live streamed.

We also encourage you to join the #live channel on our Slack. That's where you will be able to hang out with fellow attendees and ask questions during the Q&A portion.

For your convenience, we will also be displaying the Slack chat conversation on the website in read-only mode next to the live stream.

Part 2: Hanging out

Following the conclusion of the talks and Q&A, there are two options for hanging out and chatting:

Remo

Remo is a virtual event platform that allow us to create a floor that has tables and chairs. Each table can accommodate a maximum of 6 people, and once you "sit down" you will be in a video chat (video + audio) with the other people seated at that table.

A few instructions on how to use Remo:

  • When you enter the event, make sure to turn-on your camera and microphone (buttons at the bottom)
  • Take a second to edit your profile (upper right) and upload a photo and set your display name
  • Double-click on a chair to "sit down" and join the video chat
  • Click on "Tile View" to make everyone's video big
  • Click on "Floor Plan View" to shrink the videos and reveal the floor plan

A few tips on getting the most out of the event:

  • Be a good listener, don't dominate the conversation
  • Remember the two feet rule: feel free to leave a table whenever you like.
  • Remember the Pacman rule: always try to leave a chair open at your table, if possible.

Rambly

Rambly is an 8-bit universe where you pick an avatar and walk around having audio-only conversations.
