[Tzdist-bis] Streaming info for CalConnect Public Time Zone Workshop on February 5 in Zurich, Switzerland

[David Thewlis <[e-mail]>]

The CalConnect Public Time Zone Workshop will be next Tuesday, 5 February 2019, between 1400 and 1730 Central European Time.

We have made arrangements with our host, Google, to stream the CalConnect Public Time Zone Workshop <https://www.calconnect.org/events/calconnect-public-time-zone-worksjop> for any interested parties who cannot be present.  (The workshop was announced in November and we did get a few queries as to streaming.) 

The streaming will be done using Google Hangouts; the URL to join the stream is https://meet.google.com/qjb-zbip-cpf <https://meet.google.com/qjb-zbip-cpf>.  

You do have to have a google id of some sort (gmail is fine) to join the streaming.  When you access the stream, your request to join will be authorized. 

Please do not attempt to join before 1345 CET.   The workshop itself will take place between 1400-1730 CET.

The inbound audio and video stream will be disabled, so this will be a one-way outbound feed.  However, there is a chat function so you can ask questions via the chat.  Our plan is to take periodic pauses so the chat questions can be brought up and answered.  If that proves impractical we will answer the chat questions after the workshop is over, so you’ll want to include an e-mail address for a response.
