    I think I'd be interested in the future, just to get to know people a bit better. I don't "Zoom" -- but my wife has, and could help me get set up. Anyway, it seems like a good idea.

    Pacatus , I think you will find Zoom pretty easy to use. It is designed to be user-friendly. I hope you are able to join in.

    Thanks. I am a "techno-peasant" -- but I'm willing to give it a go.

    We had four participants last night - thanks to all who attended. I don't see any reason not to do this again next Tuesday night at the same time, so let's tentatively plan to do so.

    But let's consider this only tentative for the moment as we still have lots of things to figure out.

    One lesson that seems pretty easy to draw is that when we have just a few people who know each other well, we can be more "free-form" and probably satisfy everyone that their time is well spent. And when we have just a few people plus a small number of "new" people we can take the time to have general conversation to learn about their background.

    But the more people we have who attend, the more important it's going to be to keep things more organized so that everyone knows what to expect, we have people participating in a "fair" or at least "appropriate" way, and we keep a tighter rein on the conversation so that people don't think their time is being wasted on topics they didn't come to talk about.

    We always want to be considerate of peoples' time and that they don't feel like at the end of a session that their time has been wasted.

    A suggestion from a "newbie": You might try having a "Newbie Night," say once a month, to start. Eventually some of the new people will become better-known regulars as you go. Just a thought.

    That is a VERY good suggestion. I presume you're including the idea of inviting them to ask questions in addition to introducing themselves, and probably other things make sense as well. Thank you!

    Yes. It would give us newer folks a chance to become more acclimated too for awhile, in a cordial moderated atmosphere.

    Almost like, in addition to the "Welcome Post," we need a "Welcoming" committee to coordinate new participants.

    That sounds great! I'd love to participate in something like that, but I'm scared to participate in a call with the "big" minds of philosophy here on the forum. Looking at you, Lucretius Today, and his participants ;)

    I'd at least listen in, but I'm in Europe and the time is bit too late. Just mentioning it in case there are enough others.

    So to be reasonable for Europe we'd have to do maybe 2 or 3 eastern time at the latest, which would put us into the morning on the west coast. I am thinking Europe is generally about six hours ahead of the USA, right?

    What would be a good topic for Tuesday night? Kalosyni is suggesting that we talk about the personal outline project.

  • Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically.
