Does fairmeeting work well with Firefox or is it as with some other video chat platforms (MS Teams, Webex) that I would have to use a Chromium based browser? (Would have to install that first since I only use Firefox on my main computer.)

works fine for me as well, with audio in and out from either Pulse or Jack

fairmeeting is a Jitsi instance, lookup their specs if you want to check test snoop more details

Worked fine also for me, the screen sharing dialog get stuck sometimes but we can cope with it.

It was Music Pattern Generator, posted by @khz some days ago.

thanks, wouldn't want to miss trying that one, the difference in each cogwheel's time period reminds me of Ableton and Bitwig session view where the quantization timer makes it easy to loop a 3 bar phrase on top of a 4 bar one etc. Makes for easy polyrhythm exp.

Dev hisschemoller wrote it's "the new version of my old Euclidean Pattern Generator" and I didn't catch the connection during our talk. But do remember @merlyn quoting someone saying that music is math with human soul (or feeling) applied.

Another enjoyable meeting this past Saturday. Thanks to you guys who participated!
Hopefully next week will work out for other people too, whosoever feels like/has time to join in!

The topics were many (thanks Fmaj7add9 for the bullet points!) and it's always nice to get feedback on topics..be they big or small.

See you next week! ..Unless you have to get out hiking in some beautiful nature wonderland and can't make it...which I totally understand.

Hi,

Just noticed this thread, sorry to be a 'help vampire' but in a hurry today, in short what is the software being used and what are the meeting times?

Posted: **Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:44 pm**

Hi @GMaq,

the meeting is on jitsi (no need to install anything) at this address: https://fairmeeting.net/alinuxmusiciansvideomeeting - Saturday 6pm GMT.

But having a chat room 24/7 doesn't help to get people together, imo.
Yes, that's probably the best thing. To save bandwidth (and carbon emissions) and to make sure that people don't just pop in, see that nobody is around at that particular time and leave.

I think @Michael Willis had a good idea but we could set up two evening meetings, one for the west hemisphere and the other for the east hemisphere. Each meeting should last 3 hours to allow people from slightly different timezones to join. I think this solution would cover many cases, and if we do it on the weekends it would be even better because everyone from all over the world would have a good chance to join.

Not sure about time slots that fits time zones across the western ocean and here on the old continent. Maybe some of you are so far west of us that we could do mornings here to catch your evening.

@Michael Willis I think you're on Glen's shore as well, would love to see and hear you again with or without clarinet

Maybe https://framadate.org could be useful as a flexible time machine so if I f.ex. would like a chat Thursday 21.00 GMT I could float that here a few days ahead and check who might be interested.

@briandc
@merlyn
@LAM
@d.healey
et.al.

how would you feel about OBS recording the audio and any screen shares we may talk about and post the file here for the other linuxmusicians.coms afterwards?

would that kill the casual vibe for you?

I like the idea of a fixed date, but I understand there could be different needs, so I agree on framadate for additional meeting planning schedules.

I like more the subject recap afterward and the casual vibe (

), that's what got me interested about these meeting, but if there are contents available why not, we can share it somewhere.

Could we make an individual post for every meeting with the recap and eventual recordings or contents?
