Minetest convention [Maybe pilot in the United Kingdom]

[MineYoshi]

Maybe this can be started out online - and then moved to physical locations if there is enough interest?

As for the virtual platform.... I know some people here are likely to want to use Open Source Free Software, so Skype is out of the running.

Palava.tv is open source, I don't know how well it scales, but it requires no client to be installed https://palava.tv

Otherwise I could donate a server for a Mumble room, but that'll require everyone to be using the Mumble client, and would be audio only.

Tox (qTox?) or Ring.cx are another possibility, but again requires a client to be installed.

Any other suggestions?

(should I even create a new poll on a new thread.....?)

Maybe we can try a realtime "forum" or "chat"...

The idea of "palava.tv" is very good as well!
The "Mumble" one looks good too...

A virtual meet up is pretty pointless, we do that anyway using IRC. This is not the thread to discuss a virtual convention, unless it's in the context of live streaming

I'll agree that an IRC-style meetup is totally pointless. For my part, my intention was a live stream with the talking heads and the video etc etc. But this should indeed move to another thread. Discuss virtual meetups in this thread

FWIW I am still game for a UK in-person meetup, so long as it's easy to get to from main train lines.

Dare I even suggest somewhere near central London, so as to facilitate as much as possible for mainland Europe too? (even though I know some will say UK is still not their preference, maybe it'll work for others)

[MineYoshi]

I think you already have mostly stuff ready about Europe... But in South America looks kinda hard...
BTW where is going to be the convention in USA?

Any developments on the in-person meetup?

I'll cast a vote for a hackathon/buildathon.

Hi,
i have view ideas:

1. We can make a "MeseCon" in RL every year in an other country.

2. We can make a MeseCon-day there lot's is over the world people in groups and a videochat to the other groups.
And there are workshops where you can tinker thinks (like a MESEcube).

3. A virtual meetup on a Server, but if there to much people the server is full, and if it give a TS. (i think there will be to much people. But a speech (i think it called so) will be very good.

I have a question:
Give it MT-t-shirts? When it give no MT-t-shirts - Why???
I like MT very much and i want a MT-t-shirt.

I chose "live elsewhere + would attend one nearer to me (please say where)". How about one in Chicago, USA? That I could do.
