This Saturday Jan 14 19:00 UTC/GMT: Repair through Discord: Global Fixers

Hi Restarters:

This is a very special hybrid in-person / online event.

Help with real-time remote repair via Discord: we’re holding an in-person Fixit Clinic this upcoming Saturday (Jan 14) at the San Mateo Public Library 11AM-2PM PST; we have lots of items signed up already (see
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14lNfR1scJ53z3UUWgPSR8V4fdN063md6QfBsyM0ZHQ4/edit?usp=sharing])

To create a blended in-person / virtual experience I plan to have Discord: Global Fixers running from the Library with live video so that you can interact with the in-person participants and repairers.

WHAT: Fixit Clinic DCCCIX (809) San Mateo Public Library USA-CA-San Mateo
WHEN: Sat, Jan 14, 2023 11AM to 2PM PST (11AM PST=19:00 UTC,08:00+1 NZST,06:00+1 AEST,04:00+1 JST,20:00 CEST,19:00 GMT,16:00 ART,14:00 EDT,13:00 CDT,Noon MDT,11:00 PDT) (Confirm I got your local time correct.)

HOW:

  • Sign up on the In-Person Fixit Clinic Coach Sign-up form: http://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup, select “2023-01-14 USA-CA-San Mateo San Mateo Library 11AM PST” and enter “Discord” in the “Anything special about your participation?” field.
  • If you haven’t already: sign up for the Global Fixers Server on Discord: follow the instructions in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uIOwaghzZc9zkL1AFOt3aJJLFMY3zJ_G9RhQRPdbKkM/edit?usp=sharing
  • (Optional: I’m going to offer to the registered participants that they can also register for Discord: Global Fixers to get early help so you may see them online this week; feel free to help them get a head start ahead of Saturday.)
  • Get on Discord: Global Fixers at the correct time Saturday: I’ll try to start the video feed in Voice/Video Channel1 early.

Hope to see you Saturday (virtually, that is), -Peter
