Reading this post Virtual Jam Buddy - #5 by Majik I found interesting the idea @Majik says they were using for organizing virtual meetings. an it is having a shared Google Calendar. This would be feasible for us? It will help to people for not being confused on when the show will start. And which is the time for performer applications

Not sure how that would dovetail with Zoom, as those virtual were using Google Hangout/Meet. Maybe worth looking at but I create a table in Excel which takes seconds to adjust the time zones, in all honesty. Also seeing the spread of time zones allows us to decide which geographical area to prioritise, for example this time being EMEA/US. So I would still need to have folk’s, especially performers, UTC to assess that.

It shouldn’t matter. You can just as easily put the Zoom link into the calendar. Or just have it as a calendar placeholder that people can see.
It doesn’t stop you needing their timezone for planning, but could be an optional tool for communicating the final event details to performers and audience.

With a week to go I thought I would share the names of those wonderful folk, who are going to be sitting in the audience for this one. These events would not be the same without your support, so thank you !!
Please note if you are undecided or thought you were too late, seat bookings are available until a couple of hours before the show or whenever I do my final, last minute final dry run.

My only thoughts, would that it would need to be one of the organisers personal Google acc or a generic one set up for the Community. Not sure I’d want to use my own and not sure how we’d stand with a “shared” acc but its not my area of expertise. Ha nothing is these days but I like it like that
From my point of view, I used my personal Google account to set up the Meet session when I did it before. I see no reason why that’s a problem. I actually have a paid for Workspace account, so that’s easy for me, but anyone with Gmail can do it.
I suggest it’s up to each organiser to use the tool they are most comfortable with. If that’s Zoom or Teams, or Jitsi, etc. it’s all good, although people should aim for low barriers to entry.
Cheers,
Keith

Please sign me up to be in the audience! I’m in US central time, which I think is UTC -6?
Hi Hilary, no problem I’ll add you to the list and will send a DM shortly.
I have Milwaukee down as UTC - 6 so looks like you are on the money.
Hi Toby. Just realised I haven’t been in touch to ask for a seat in the audience. UTC. Thanks.
On the case Gordon
In case we want to explore the idea. I offer my services for setting up the calendar, if you want, for next OM
