I wonder if others think it is worthwhile having a monthly online voice and screenshare meetup? Just for an hour. I'm thinking two talks, each 20 minutes, with 10 minutes for questions.
Proposed agenda for the first:
Say hello
Talk 1 by @Moult - Introduction to the BlenderBIM Add-on and how IFC works
Talk 2 by.... you?
If there is interest, let me know if you'd like to give a short 20 minute super informal talk, and we can vote on a date and time that works best for everyone.
Great idea, I'm in
I will looking for this. But what platform of communication will you be using?
I'm thinking about using Jitsi meet - I've used it many times in the past, it's open source, fully encrypted, browser based, allows group calls with screen sharing capabilities.
Great proposal, I'm down.
I can present a summary of the ifc to code_aster implementation but probably in a couple of months or so, depending on the progress.
i could be a gawker.
So cool！I am looking for this. Maybe you could use YouTube or Zoom
Can I propose two options:
First Saturday of every month, 10am UTC
First Saturday of every month, 8pm UTC
Meeting to be held on: https://meet.jit.si/openbim
Please comment with what time works for you, and we'll try and do something in April :)
8pm UTC works for me.
Dion suggests a guide to using the IFC documentation.
I would also be interested in some very basic stuff, like, what is bimtester for? I suspect there are some basic BIM/IFC concepts where my understanding is completely back-to-front.
Saturday 8pm UTC for me is fine, too.
Is this a presentation for developers or for general public?
Saturday 8pm UTC works also for me.
For the first one, I'll try and speak non-technical. I think an introduction to the IFC documentation is a good idea for a second topic, and it is actually not that hard and I have previously explained it to non-developers.
So revised events for Saturday 8pm UTC in April 4th 2020 are:
Say hello
Introduce the BlenderBIM Add-on (30min)
Introduce IFC and the IFC documentation (30min)
Will these be recorded? I'm out on Saturday night
Great idea! I'd be in to showcase FreeCAD too. Both times are good to me too
@yorik would you like to do a 30 min session for the first meetup, so that I'm not talking for the entire hour, and then I can delay one of my talks (perhaps I can delay talking about BlenderBIM until the next month)?
I would find it better that you do the first session, then I'd do the next one, you're the one to do the opening! Honestly I believe you'll talk 20 minutes and we'll bomb you with questions for the rest of the hour ;)

You should keep your presentation for around 30 min and the rest of the time is questions and interaction.
@bitacovir - noted, I will keep it limited to 30 minutes.

@brunopostle - the session will be recorded. Are you sure you can't make the 4th of April? It's not this coming Saturday.
@yorik - sounds good :) Will book you in for May 2nd 2020!
Oops wasn't paying attention, next month sounds good
Ok, saving the date!
OK. I've saved the date too.
cool... I will try to be on time
Time is OK. I hope you can post a online sheet (like google cloud document) to regist who will attend, and send an email to you before some days. If I dont reopen this one, I will forget the online meeting lol .
