Re: [110attendees] Thank you for making Gather Town workable!

Tried out a flipchart (thanks, IRTF); wandered into the bar and spent a happy 28 min doing a cryptic crossword.

Just have to explore!  (yeah, didn’t do the treasure hunt … maybe I shoulda?)

Agree with the sentiments in this thread.  (Spencer, I'm still wondering if gather in a f2f meeting would work -- yes, those remote would appreciate it, but would those attending in person use it?)

Robert, thanks much for sharing -- didn't know about flip charts, sounds cool.  Can one save them or download them?

Yes.  'Just' go into the lounge.  Look for a table that has a flipchart.  get close, press X and see what you can do.  You can even create a URL to share with others to work with the flipchart even if they are not in the room.  Or maybe it pulls them into the room; I have not tried this.

And download is there.  I think as svg?

To your challenge, I too just go silent; I too would like to know if there is a better answer.

Cheers,

Kireeti.

    I was shown in the lounge the flipcards and how to use them for drawing

    up stuff.  I plugged my 20yr old Wacom tablet and it just worked to

    write on the 'paper'.  Your mouse/pad works just was well.

    This was a valuable aspect of F2F that I missed.  The ability to get

    with a small group, pull out some paper, and start drawing things up.

    One challenge I have had is temporarily leaving the gather.  I am

    heading off to a session.  How do I say I am offline?  All I have been

    able to do is go silent.
