| 10:44 | <ystartsev> | hey folks, i have two ideas for breakout sessions |
| 10:44 | <ystartsev> | hubs.mozilla.com -- you can walk around and talk to people, it gives a sense of physical space and is all in the browser, and zoom breakouts (needs to be done by a moderator) |
| 10:44 | <ystartsev> | any thoughts about this? |
| 10:44 | <ystartsev> | also, what do you all think about a "dinner" session? |
| 13:35 | <bradleymeck> | I do think a more informal non-moderated hubs like approach would be better |
| 16:34 | <shu> | ystartsev: by dinner session do you mean actually eating on VC? |
| 17:04 | <bradleymeck> | shu: I'd guess more it is a debriefing opportunity and opportunity to revisit things that might have needed offline discussion. |
| 17:04 | <shu> | is that what the dinners usually are? :upside_down_face: |
| 17:05 | <bradleymeck> | shu: thats what I've used them for previously |
| 17:12 | <ystartsev> | shu: you grab a bottle of wine |
| 17:12 | <ystartsev> | and get on a video call ;) |
| 17:13 | <ystartsev> | we did this with a few friends of mine recently, we all cooked and chatted. worked surprisingly well |
| 17:13 | <ystartsev> | naturally you don't have to eat on camera |
| 17:13 | <ystartsev> | but yeah thats the idea |
| 17:13 | <shu> | i have some concerns about this scaling up |
| 17:13 | <shu> | sounds great smaller scale though |
| 17:13 | <ystartsev> | so, i think that is where hubs comes in |
| 17:13 | <ystartsev> | because its basically a proximity chat room |
| 17:14 | <shu> | ah, dinner session on hub |
| 17:14 | <ystartsev> | the other thing we can do is zoom's breakout rooms but that doesn't allow you to wander as easily i think? |
| 17:14 | <ystartsev> | i don't have much experience with that so i want to do a test session to see how it goes |
| 17:14 | <ystartsev> | also, totally open for other ideas |
| 17:17 | <shu> | hubs seems like worth a try |
| 17:19 | <devsnek> | hubs looks so neat why have I never seen this before |
| 17:21 | <devsnek> | ystartsev: do you know what the discord bot does? |
| 17:51 | <shu> | this island for the room i created is kinda small |
| 17:51 | <shu> | ystartsev: how do i get a bigger island |
| 18:01 | <ljharb> | +1 to trying hubs |
| 21:14 | <ystartsev> | shu there are other rooms in the "change scene" |
| 21:14 | <ystartsev> | im also playing around with it |
| 21:21 | <rkirsling> | I thought shu was playing Animal Crossing for a second there |
| 21:21 | <shu> | nah still on nioh 2 |
| 21:22 | <ystartsev> | did you play sekuro? |
| 21:22 | <ystartsev> | sekiro? |
| 21:22 | <ystartsev> | i think its the second one.. |
| 21:24 | <rkirsling> | too hardcore for me but it's beautiful to watch |
| 21:28 | <ljharb> | ystartsev: is there a hub room we could all join, to try it out? |
| 21:29 | <shu> | ystartsev: yes i'm a big souls-like games fan, i've played all from software games since ds1 |
| 21:30 | <ystartsev> | yeah we can |
| 21:30 | <ystartsev> | just a sec, need my headphones |
| 21:31 | <ystartsev> | hub.link/nnzeeVQ |
| 21:31 | <devsnek> | nice shortlink |
| 21:32 | <ljharb> | ystartsev: i can hear you but looks like you can't hear me til i pick an avatar |
| 21:32 | <ystartsev> | yes, possible |
| 21:32 | <ystartsev> | i can read your text though |
| 21:32 | <ystartsev> | the avatars are horribly ugly |
| 21:38 | <devsnek> | oh wow rooms can be created from like |
| 21:38 | <devsnek> | pretty much anything |
| 21:40 | <devsnek> | the outdoor meetup scene looks pretty useful for our case |
| 21:40 | <ystartsev> | which one is that? |
| 21:40 | <ystartsev> | yeah the bigger the space the better for us |
| 21:40 | <devsnek> | https://hubs.mozilla.com/spoke/projects/new?sceneId=RGZEYPY |
| 21:40 | <devsnek> | its a demo scene in the spoke creator |
| 21:41 | <devsnek> | but it has a panel and a huge open area |
| 21:41 | <ystartsev> | lol amazing |
| 21:41 | <ystartsev> | didnt realize it was so huge |
