Hi Restarters:
We’re going to hold an online “gather-in” on Discord: Global Fixers in conjunction with the Five Cities Repair Café at IFixit World HQ this Sunday: https://www.repaircafe5cities.org/
WHAT: Global Fixers Gather-In at Five Cities Repair Café at iFixit HQ in USA-CA-San Luis Obispo
WHERE: Online on Discord: Global Fixers
WHEN: Sun April 30 at 11AM PDT, going for about 2-3 hours (11AM PDT=18:00 UTC=03:00+1 JST,04:00+1 AEST,06:00+1 NZST,20:00 CEST,19:00 GMT,15:00 ART,14:00 EDT,13:00 CDT,Noon MDT,11:00 PDT) (Confirm your local time is correct.)
HOW: Get on Discord: Global Fixers and join the #chit-chat channel at the correct time Sunday, anywhere within the 3-hour time block. I’ll start the video feed in Voice/Video Channel1 as appropriate, we have other Voice/Video channels for breakout rooms if necessary…
This is an experiment in merging local and remote repair; can we help with local repairs through online research, advice and crowd-sourced repairer knowledge sharing? I’ll act as the on-site presence to teleport you into this repair event; we might also have online participants looking to get advice from the critical mass of expert repairers online at one time (you can do this too.)
If nothing else: you can entertain each other with friendly banter via text, voice, and video and bask in the global community of repairers that we are; help each other figure out how to use Discord, etc…
**If you haven’t already: join the Global Fixers Server on Discord in advance of Sunday and familiarize yourself with the interface: detailed instructions for joining are in this Google Doc: https://bit.ly/joinglobalfixers
Hope to see you Sunday, -Peter
