2020 Jambo-Stream! (1 Viewer)

[EphemeralStick]

So I got this crazy idea that decided to run by @Matt Derrick and that's to host the 2020 Jamboree digitally! Yea, it's not really the same as meeting up on an island for an awesome camp out but hey, it's something.

Essentially it would be three days where we all get together online to stream movies, talk in video chat, and hangout online together in place of the real Jamboree. Matt found a video sharing app that will allow us to watch the same movie with a text chat overlay, so that could be a thing. There could also be folks who want to play music on camera, or share interesting stories, maybe even some digital workshops.

What do you all think, is this something the community would be interesting? Also would anyone being willing to host a workshop or play music? Let us know!

Yeah we can definitely watch movies together with Kast:

Kast is Watch Parties Made Easy

Kast is a live streaming hangout for friends that want to be together. Share videos, movies, live content, and games with friends in private or public watch parties.

It's the best app I've found so far for that kind of thing and it's available for both Windows/Mac desktop and mobile devices (you can also just use a web browser, chrome/edge only though, no firefox).

Wow.. I say, why not! Adjusting to the circumstances makes sense. I think for those that have the capability to engage may definitely enjoy themselves. Unfortunately I most likely wont be able to tune in, because I'll be on the road.. but who knows.

I barely know what day it is and miss most Wednesday chats, so as much as I'd like to do an online thing, I'm probably not gonna. I still travel full time when I'm not getting molested on some level by Portland and will undoubtedly forget about an online event.
But! For those of y'all still housed up and/or held down, it sounds great! That first month of the shut down, I would have dug the fuck out of this.

I barely know what day it is and miss most Wednesday chats

Slight derailment here on my part but slightly related, at least to the discord chats on Wednesdays. I think this is the case for many of us, I never know what day it is. I've missed all but one and they've been running for a while. The one I did join last week was fun, small but fun.

Maybe we could benefit from using a mass text app that can be programmed to send on a scheduled time to a certain group of contacts.I play an MMORPG where there's certain incredibly rare spawns that can just randomly pop whenever.. The leader of our guild has all of our cell numbers and he has an app that will send off an alert letting us know we need to log in to take down said rare spawn.

It works tremendously well. It seems like we could enable something like that for the weekly discord chats. Matt could download an app, make a post asking those of us who want to be alerted before the chat starts to send him a PM with our numbers. Then he can put us in a group on his phone, and set it to send off the alert say 20 minutes prior to the chat start time?

Idk, it could help. Something to consider.

Also, I'd join these virtual jambo chats if we go through with it. Unless I space the day and time.. mass text alert app could solve that too.

@seeking existence mentioned a idea like this to me recently when we were talking. I'm definitely for it! When are we looking to do this?

 

[Coywolf]

Aw man, great idea! But unfortunately my current internet situation will bar me from attending.

Except that most people do not have any "phone number" and you will probably be doing something else even if you had one.

As for some government-tracking enabled, incorrectly-described "online gathering", a better idea will be to simply gather in real life, espeicially if it is for multipledays and therefore easy to come to... in real life. There is literally no such thing as an "online party", by the way. A party by definition involves going to a place where other people are... Duh?

I bet you're fun at parties.

I think this sounds pretty cool!

I don't know about that "no such thing as an online party" --- I've been working from home since March and have all sorts of online meetings (using Zoom), and due to the way we are living mostly now a days - have been to a couple of online birthday parties and even online happy hours (these are fun) - and yeah of course the in the flesh real deal is the best - but not at this time for me. I'll stick to the online fun for now - and look forward to the live streaming/digital whatever event that I hope goes forth!
