Virtual HABApp & openHAB user event

Apps & Services 3rd Party
1

Since there seems to be at least some interest in a virtual event where users share their HABApp and openHAB implementations and experiences.
Anyone is welcome to join, though the event will probably have an emphasis on using openHAB with HABApp.

Depending on how many users we will be and how the users are distributed (e.g. Germany, Europe, USA, America) it might make sense to make two events, e.g. one in German and one in English or one in the evening European time and one in the evening American time.

If you are interested and want to join just reply to this thread.
I’ll wait until 17th of September, then we’ll try to find a date and time.

I’ll ping a couple of users which have already expressed interest

I’m in! I’m in Thailand and often work with people in both the US and Europe. Meeting time planning is tricky with the different time zones.

If we take Stockholm, Bangkok, New York and San Francisco into account, there is exactly ONE hour of waking hour overlap:

16:00 Stockholm, 21:00 Bangkok, 10:00 New York, 07:00 San Francisco.

If there’s nobody from the US West Coast in the event, I would prefer 14:00 Stockholm, 19:00 Bangkok, 08:00 New York (05:00 San Francisco).

This overlaps with business hours in Europe. If it needs to be an evening event for Europe, there is no overlap with my own time zone. A weekend event might be most accessible, so that we don’t have to take business hours into account.

I would certainly prefer if we stick to English-only events. That way I will be able to collaborate with the German speaking user base. :slight_smile:

The virtual event will take place at 2023-10-12 19:00 GMT+2 (Berlin).

If someone has suggestions for the used technology please pm me, otherwise I’ll try to set up jitsi and post a link to join here on the 12th.

The meeting will take place in about two hours.

Everyone is invited and I’m really excited.
If somebody wants to share something or has a topic to talk about that would be great.

Good news - another meeting is in the making.

As suggested last time we’ll have two meetings - one in German and one in English.
Please vote for your desired date

German Meeting
English Meeting

We will settle on a date a week before the first meeting suggestion.

There were multiple good candidates for the German meeting so I picked

Monday 16.12 - 20:00

If someone has a suggestion for a good conference tool please pm me, otherwise I’ll try to setup Jitsi again.
I’ll edit this post to include the url to join the meeting shortly before we start.

Use this url to join:

It would be nice if you can also share your use cases and you’re HABApp experiences so I don’t have to monologue throughout the meeting. :wink:
See you soon!
