Although there are still a few votes trickling in, it looks as if we have reached a consensus about when to hold the first #Maintainers virtual reading group. We will meet online at 7pm on Monday, October 10 (which is one week from today). We will discuss Julian Orr's 1996 classic *Talking About Machines: an Ethnography of a Modern Job* (ILR Press Ithaca, NY, 1996).
My apologies to those of you for whom this is an inconvenient or impossible date/time. Hopefully this will be the first of many such reading groups. We may need to organize these regionally, especially for those of you not in the United States. Since I am located in the Eastern Standard Time zone, this first session was a little biased towards my own schedule...
It looks as if our best option for virtual meeting technology is Adobe Connect. I considered Google Hangouts, but it cannot handle the number of video participants I anticipate. Adobe Connect has clients for most operating systems, and you can access it via the web,
The URL for the meeting is https://connect.iu.edu/maintainers/
I will send the details again closer to the day.
In the meantime, read your Julian Orr!
