[NTLK] Worldwide Online Newton Conference 2020

Thu Apr 30 14:08:49 EDT 2020

Hello all Newtonians!

UPDATE #5

TIME AND TIME ZONES

To avoid confusion, I would like to remind you that UTC time is not the same as GMT time. UTC is a time standard. GMT is time zone. For example, I live in UK. During winter GMT is UTC for me (16:00 UTC is 16:00 for me), but during summer GMT is +1 to UTC for me (16:00 UTC is 17:00 for me).

More info here: https://www.timeanddate.com/time/gmt-utc-time.html <https://www.timeanddate.com/time/gmt-utc-time.html>

So, please check again your time zone here: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com <https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/>

RECORDING THE SESSIONS

We have a plan to record the event - all presentations and Q&A sessions. This means that we will record screens and presentations for all speakers. During the Q&A session we will also record audio with questions from viewers. Recorded materials will be published on the WONC website, and the videos themselves will be hosted on YouTube and/or Vimeo. The purpose of this is to archive this event. Certainly many of you would like to have access to previous conferences related to Newton. But it is impossible, as nothing was recorded. We loyally inform you all about this fact before the event, so that people who do not want their picture or voice to be recorded can make the appropriate decision about their participation in the event.

Best regards,
Pawel

So, if someone know - for example - other retro-users etc. or know someone who will be interested, do not hesitate to invite them! I think there is no reason why we shouldn’t share our passion with others. Do you agree? Or not? :)

>>>> Because we never get to planning stage of physical Newton Conference, an idea arose in my restless head. Worldwide Online Newton Conference 2020. Online video-conference. With international schedule, presenters, presentations, demos, and - of course - networking sessions. The time is bad (coronavirus), but I think because of this some of us have to stay at home. I thought it was a good time to organize such an event.

For the first time we could organise something like 5-6 hours event, with 4-5 speakers (or longer if the presentations will be linger). We could use Zoom app or something like that to connect everybody.
