first meet this saturday, and now, a survey
Hi all: welcome to the course. Having not heard any particular preferences, I'm going to make the first course meeting for this Saturday, the 29th of January, at 17:00 GMT. If you can't make it at that time please let me know by email (holtzermann17@gmail.com) and we can work out an alternate time.
The meeting will be held over the web, via http://oufm.open.ac.uk/fm/0e39f6-2753 -- just visit that link at the aforementioned time. You can give the service a test beforehand via http://oufm.open.ac.uk/fm/flashmeeting.php?pwd=demo-demo.
I've also created a short pre-course survey - please do take a few minutes to complete it!

Further material directly relevant to the course subject coming very soon. :) In the mean time, please feel free to introduce yourselves to one another via the forum!!
Argh! I can't make it on saturday as I'm busy all day, judging at a hamster show :(
OK, no worries, we can try to find a time that works for everyone who can't make the Saturday meeting!
Good for me.
anytime on Saturday works for me
I'll be there!
Saturday is great.
Is it ok if Shyam nair and I attend the session together from the same pc?
how long will the duration of a session be?
Hi Abhay: It's fine to share a PC if you have a microphone that can pick up both voices. The meeting is scheduled to last 1 hour.
is it ok if the time is shifted to 14:00 gmt ?not free at 17:00 gmt
I don't think we're going to shift this meeting unless there is a major outcry (many have said it works for them) but we can make a second meeting for those who can't make it. Maybe sometime on Sunday?
Its ok for me and Abhay on sunday(before 14:00 gmt).
When it's time for the meeting is there a username and password I should use or do I log in as a guest?
You can "proceed as guest" and enter your name in the box provided.
Notes from the first meeting are at http://piratepad.net/mathgame - which can also serve as a point for coordination and further followup. (There are other pads I will link in there.)
The main conclusion of the meeting seems to have been that we all have different (cool) ideas about what we'd like to work on, and we need to share these with other folks in the course and get to work :)
And a reminder that if you missed the meeting or want to go back over it, the audio and chat transcripts are available at the same link, http://oufm.open.ac.uk/fm/0e39f6-2753
Again, really sorry about having to miss the meeting :(
I'll be catching up in the latter part of the week as I got suddenly reminded by my boss that we have a project deadline for wednesday morning too... bad timing, but hopefully that'll be about it during the course now :)
No worries - first meeting was mainly just to make sure that people have some shared expectations for the course (and it seems that we do). Happy to discuss 1-to-1 any time, just ping me on gtalk (holtzermann17). See also http://piratepad.net/mathgame.
