Google Hangout is pretty good to work with and yes can record directly to Youtube.

Hello all,



It looks exciting, but I don't think I'll have time. HOWEVER! If you choose to record your conversation as a google hangout (then upload it to youtube, perhaps as a private video) then those of us dotted around the world can find other ways to join in (and we can all keep getting to bed on time).



Just a thought. You'll need to do whatever works best for you all (and I appreciate a recorded conversation is something quite different from a friendly online chat).



All the best,

Dominic

Greetings from Australia



Of course it can be very difficult to accommodate those tuning in from the Antipodes but for us the later the better and I do know that there are at least three of us from UWA (Western Australia) who would enjoy participating in this discussion. It is a great initiative.



Regards



Martin

Enough of you have expressed enthusiasm about participating in a virtual #Maintainers reading group to justify an experiment.



For our first reading we will discuss Julian Orr's 1996 classic *Talking About Machines: an Ethnography of a Modern Job* (ILR Press Ithaca, NY, 1996).  This is not only a classic ethnographic study of maintenance work and workers, but was an important influence on the later work of Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger on communities of practice.



With our first reading selected, the questions remain: 1)  how best to conduct a virtual meeting, and 2) when?



Since it is fairly easy for me to use Indiana University resources to set up an Adobe Connect meeting space, and since Adobe Connect, although by no means perfect, is widely accessible (via a browser or an app) we will go with that option.  Once we settle on a date, I will set up the meeting space and send out the details.



As for a schedule:  I set up a Doodle poll to gauge availability on three potential dates (and four different times) in early-to-mid October.   I chose 7pm as a compromise between various US time zones, but also set up one 4pm possibility (on 10/13) just to test the waters for an earlier option



Here is the link to the Doodle poll:

Hopefully we can come up with a reasonable compromise and get our technology in order to have a fun and fruitful conversation about the maintenance of Xerox machines!
