RE: CoVid-19 Remote Meet, Work, Class Community Group Launched

I want to thank Chris Cox for the work that went into

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PRcDZlxIBLoj0Nz8ghU3xJaLNHibtEIqB3we6KvzLQA/edit?usp=sharing

 

 

with some URLs to finding out more information. I made up the columns 


System

Latest Version

System Type

URL for more info

Open Source

Free to use?

Special offers

Important features

 

But what columns should be there?

“latest version” isn’t useful

“open source” might be

The “free to use” looks interesting

 

Are there ratings or reviews?

Who is using what needs another table

I nominate Larry for chair.

 

Willing to co-chair if it matters.

The group has  (archived) email list, public-covid-19@w3.org <mailto:public-covid-19@w3.org>  now cc’d. 

 

(It has another mailing lists, and W3C offers other services, including

a wordpress blog, use of W3C WebEx, a github repo, etc.

 

 

We need to choose a chair or co-chairs and draft a charter.

Choosing a chair: https://www.w3.org/community/about/tool/#choose-chair 

 

I think W3C is sensitive about calling it a -wg instead of a -cg (community group)

 

I like saying go-remote instead of “meet, work, class” since I’ve been doing

a little research on remote exercise classes / physical therapy and telemedicine.

 

I’m on west coast time.

 

I’ll add my thoughts about the charter to 

 

https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/covid-19-go-remote-wg

 

    The initial focus of the group should be to produce reports that will be useful in a matter of weeks, not months

      Many organizations have produced "best practices" documents and others that might be helpful to share.

Hello all, Good to see this started. Thanks for thinking to make this a W3C CG, Larry.

 

Here's a suggested default video conferencing location:

https://meet.jit.si/covid-19-go-remote-wg

Any side conversations can be instantaneously hosted with any change to the last part of the URL in a browser, e.g.

https://meet.jit.si/covid-19-go-remote-wg2

https://meet.jit.si/covid-19-go-online

https://meet.jit.si/random

There's no authentication -- any up-to-date browser gets someone 'in', though they'd have to now the URL.

 

I'm near Ottawa, in the EST time zone. Where are each of you? This is a visually-convenient time coordinator to plan discussions: http://www.thetimenow.com/meeting-planner.php

 

Here also is a suggested default video conferencing location:

Similarly, any side drafting can be instantaneously hosted with any change to the last part of the URL.

There's no authentication -- any up-to-date browser gets someone 'in'. Granular version control: every character change can be replayed.

With your support, the CoVid-19 Remote Meet, Work, Class Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/covid-19/

This group was originally proposed on 2020-03-10
by Larry Masinter. The following people supported its
creation: 
      Larry Masinter
      Jordan Arellano

      Phillip Hallam-Baker

A clearinghouse for experience and guidelines for people who are
suddenly called to avoid travel or meetings, work-at-home or do classes
