From several sides it has been suggested that, with the current lack of social contacts in the CoVId19 pandemy, it might be good to have a realtime meeting with members. If we want to do something like that, someone should take the initiative to start, which I'm doing here.
This is an experiment. If too many people join, casual conversation might be difficult. We propose to do at least an introduction round, so everybody can at least say something. After that we'll have to see.
INFO for 6-6-2020:
Here all you need to know about the meeting. We'll have a beer/wine/coffee/cake or whatever depending of your timezone together (or just grab a beer regardless of the time).
Meeting with ZOOM (Video Conferencing, Web Conferencing, Webinars, Screen Sharing)
Make sure you have the app installed on a device with at least a microphone. Smartphone, tablet or computer will do.
If you want to join, send your email adres to me (
Marcel
) in a PM. I'll try too keep them private. Registration closes 1 hour before the meeting, as we'll have to prepare from there.
You'll get an email with invitation about 15 minutes before the start of the meeting. There will be a link in that email which you'll have to click in order to join the meeting.

===================== Old starting post ============================================
I have no idea if this is feasable or not and how many people are really interested.
There are a couple of problems I can see.
1. timezones, we go to sleep when the Americans wake up, might be a problem
2. Size of the meeting. From experience I know that to large a meeting won't really work.
3. Which platform?
I would like to start to see if there is any interest in such a meeting, so if you could indicate here if you are interested that would be nice. I also would like you to indicate what goal you would like the meeting to have. I've seen ideas to discuss in aviation etc. That would require a more meeting-like organisation I think with a chairman and choosing a subject? I myself would be perfectly fine with just socializing with a couple of you, just sharing a beer.
How big should a meeting be? As many as possible?
What platform should we use? I've no experience with ZOOM, but I have used WebEx and Microsoft Teams/skype in the past. Don't know the pros and cons for each platform.
So if you have any ideas, please put them here. If it's not to be, that would be perfectly fine as well. I'm sure all of you are capable of organising something like this in a smaller setting if necessary.
