In response to what Mark said:
I'm a Cisco a employee, I can see if we'd be able to sponsor a corporate
Webex account for the online meetings.
Can't make any promises but it's worth asking. Worst case scenario I think
I'd be able to use my own account, but I'll have to double check the policy
on that.
Should we get a positive reply, in whose name should the account be
created? (Name/Email Address/Org)
Best,
Tiago M.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I, too, think online meetings are a
good idea. I've just been to lazy/overworked (your choice) to organize
them. Eric wrote me about this offline today (and I will answer you
today, Eric).

Hi Tiago: this is an interesting question thanks for taking the
initiative to bring it up.
While I organize Durham Project night, a format not conducive to
online meetings (a bunch of people sitting around coding and eating
pizza with random code chat interspersed), one very doable option would
be to condense all of the Tripython meetups into one: basically the
Tripython meetup would absorb all three Project nights so we'd have a
speaker and lightning talks, and that's it.
I'm curious what people think?
If you look at the larger meetups in the area (e.g., AI now) they
are continuing on with online meetups. It would be a shame if TriPython
were to be hobbled for too long by this damned virus.
Best,
Eric

Subject: [TriPython] Virtual Meetups
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,
[15]https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://discord.gg/j73CeQT__;!!OToaGQ!5aVe3gh5rHbt82tNvNlQxrZVtzVwj4LRIC1llr3x-Eewkt1K4u42EsS0BMHuadODJOn7$
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.

Eric,
Take a look at the PyData Triangle meetup.? We've moved to online (only)
meetings with little trouble.? Fortunately, we have a sponsor that
supplies us with a corporate Zoom account.
You should watch the Python conference videos.? The SciPy conference
videos were posted last week.? I've just started watching them.? Here is
a link to those playlists.? They're
fresh.[20]https://www.youtube.com/c/enthought/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=4
