I look forward to this and have used Zoom for church services, Bible study and (sadly) my father-in-law’s funeral.
Hi Ms Grace
I’d love to join your Conference. I’m going to hazard a guess you’re not in my time zone:WST Australia.
Which Timezone are you in?
Thank you
Lynley
Hello there, Jack Caldwell jumping in. All times above are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), or UTC-4.
Looking forward to these Jaff in June events.
What time zone are the posted times for the events?
We just edited the post. Eastern Daylight Time.
Well this sounds like great fun! Look forward to joining!
Oh, that sounds good! So many interesting topics!
Would it be possible, to safe a copy of the videos of this conference and post them (for example on YouTube) so that fans from other time zones can enjoy them, too, without having to stay awake at night? Or we could watch them another time if we’re already busy on one of these days. Even a replay for only a limited amount of time (like a week or so) would be helpful. But I don’t know how time-consuming it would be to manage this extra effort…
I’ll look into it, but no promises. I’m having enough trouble figuring out how to get the livestream to work. Clearly I’m better at writing fiction than I am at technology for online conferences!
