Informal Zoom Chat A few weeks ago I asked Kirk if he would be interested in joining me in an experiment with Zoom. I was curious to see what sort of positive outcome we could get by chatting with a few of Kumamoto-International’s members. Personally, I am negatively inclined to any so-called “social” media, and keep my presence there to a minimum. However, when I lived in Sweden many years ago,I joined the newly started Swedish creation - Skype. In those days there was no such phrase as “social-media”. Since Microsoft acquired Skype and then proceeded to kill it off, I eventually moved to Zoom. There is a lot to be gained by communicating with people in a real-time face-to-face environment. There are less misunderstandings and any that do arise can be quickly clarified. But I ramble on too much….
On Friday (8th), I will post the url to a sign-up page for the Informal Zoom Chat, which will take place on Sunday, 24th April at 11.00am. Apart from myself and Kirk, there will only be 6 other places available. If you are interested in taking part in the meeting, think carefully and make sure that you can attend on that date. Then follow the url and register for the meeting. If you are too late in registering, but would like to have a chance to attend a future meeting, contact me and I will add you to a waiting list. Kirk and I are hoping that we will get to know six of Kumamoto-International’s members better by giving us a chance to communicate on a more convivial level. It should be a taken as a chance to meet the person behind the posts! Regards Douglas
