Maha Bali مها بالي@Triplefox thanks for the boosts today! Were u interested in joining a Virtually Connecting session at #OEB16?
james@mahabali thank you for offering. i'm curious about this and am looking at virtuallyconnecting.org but am a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff on this site! is there a simple summary?
@Triplefox yes! This article explains it well and has an example hangout embedded
We are this:

@mahabali It might be a challenging time commitment since i'm in West US. It's pushing my comfort zone. I really appreciate the offer and I think what I would like to do this time is just be kept updated on this event so I can see how it works with others.
@Triplefox sure thing. Actually *most* of our events are US-based just coz that is where most edtech conferences are. But I saw many in this space are on EuroAfrica time, so I thought some might wanna join. You are welcome to join any time. I think our next event is Educause ELI in..Jan or Feb. And we do smaller events that are less corporate as well :) us being all indie and stuff, hacking conferences
@mahabali it sounds like a really good project! definitely keep me updated because I'll probably get it together to want to participate at some point
