[Swift-devel] Daily skype conference for student work

[wilde at mcs.anl.gov]

Hi All,

I'd like to try a daily telecon to get our student projects started. This isnt meant to replace constant discussion on the swift-devel list, but rather as a way to accelerate the startup phase of your work and address questions that are on your mind, and to work around any problems that are blocking you.

Lets try for 1100 CDT (1200 EDT; 1300 Brazil BRT). On occasion I wont be able to join, but I'll do my best to be a regular. I think it makes sense to hold the call whether Im available or not.

We'll try to keep it under 30 mins, with 15 mins being more ideal, and longer being OK if the call is productive.

After a few weeks we'll assess how helpful this is.

Justin indicated he wanted to join the call; anyone else working on Swift (using or developing) is welcome.

Lets try to do our first call this Thu, and use Skype so Thiago can hopefully join without phone charges.

Will this work for all 5 students, Justin, and any others who want to join? I'll see if I can set up a skype conference that people can just join in, ideally. Else I or another host will need to connect to all participants.
