I've been looking forward to a teleconference since the CG was initially
proposed, of course I'll participate.

If we're going to be picking a medium, weighing the strengths and
weaknesses of the alternatives is kind of unavoidable.

I don't have any issues with G+ /as such/, but I note it is proprietary...
my previous computer, a Linux box, simply wouldn't receive and send audio
at the same time through Hangouts, a throughly frustrating experience for
me. Mostly I just don't think I've ever heard the suggestion from a WG or
CG before, and I'm not very excited about video.

More than anything else, I *would* highly encourage use of the IRC channel
for realtime text communications. If the issue is that the W3C server
doesn't have a big enough an audience, then maybe create a Freenode
channel, like I did for JSON Schema. (There's many other channels relevant
to us on Freenode, too.) I'm not sure what gitter.im gets us, but that
requires my GitHub account, and took a non-trivial amount of time to figure
out just now.

The accessibility issue is just one I raise on behalf of potential new
developers. Effective participation now requires an email box, W3C account,
GitHub account, *and* a Google account, each with their own requirements.

I don't think I could figure out how to add my name when I saw it, maybe it
was closed as it is now?

In any event, any day is good for me, including the scheduled one.

See you there!

Austin.
