[TriPython] Virtual Meetups

[Tiago Mendes]

Hi All,

Hope everyone is well!

I'm reaching out because, simply put, I miss the meetups!
Shortly after moving to RTP I stumbled upon this group and managed to
participate in 2 different meetups prior to the pandemic.

I'm enjoying learning Python by myself but would like to see the group come
together, even if we do so virtually!
What would you think of having a virtual meeting at the same time/date we
typically used to meet?

I've setup a Discord Server, https://discord.gg/j73CeQT which is free and
could accommodate the group. I think Discord is fairly well known, but for
those that dont know it, it supports chat/audio/video meetings with
multiple people, screen share and a lot more. One of the things I enjoy is
the fact that you can have multiple rooms within a single instance, meaning
that different groups of people can work on something together on different
voice channels. Another cool thing is that the "meeting rooms" are always
online/accessible  which differs from a webinar where the meeting room
opens/closes at a specified time/date. Last but not least, I think Discord
would work well because the administrative burden of running this is
minimal. I've set up a few rooms and basic permissions in a matter of
minutes.

Is this something we could try?

Best,
Tiago M.
