No problem, Joel! Happy to do it!

In a nutshell, it works like this:

First, a webcam is needed. Since most computers made in the past 5 years or so have these, I don’t anticipate this being a problem.

Second, someone with a GMail account (in this case, me) sets up a Hangout and sends out invitations. If you have a Gmail or Google+ account, you’re all set and all you have to do is accept the invitation. If you don’t have one of those accounts, an invitation will be sent to your email address that you provided me to join Hangouts.

Third, We talk about webcomics and whatever may be bugging us about them. 🙂

I do think we need some ground rules, though:
1) The Golden Rule applies (do unto others, etc.) or, if this works better for you, Wheaton’s Law (Don’t be a dick). 🙂
2) Since people are likely to be calling in from several different time zones, I propose that we limit the first session to one hour.
3) A technical request: if you have normally music playing while you’re online, please either turn it down or off during the session.

Let me know if anyone has any other questions.

Sounds like Google Hangouts is the way to go. I’ll figure out how all the particulars work and post whatever other info we need to get this sucker off the ground. 🙂

I’m commenting again to bump this up a bit, but also to try to lock down a time and method for this video conference study group. I’m going to assume that this week is pretty much out, as it is short notice and there is also Halloween on Friday. So, what do you all think about November 4th at 7:00PM PST? As far as video options goes, I’m torn between Skype and Google Hangouts. Both are fine, but you need to have a Google account for the latter to be viable. That is most likely not a problem for most folks and is the option I’m leaning more towards, but I’m open-minded.Let me know! 🙂

Also, Brad had commented on this earlier in this thread; Brad, were you interested as well?

Is anyone still interested in doing this? I am, for the record. We just need to set up a time and venue (Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.) I’d like this to not fall by the wayside. Thoughts?

My schedule is fairly flexible, although anytime after 5:00PM Pacific time during the week is spoken for until about 8:30 (family time). Also, I agree with John’s suggestion about using Google Hangouts. Sorry I didn’t respond to this sooner, but I am still enthusiastic about this. Let me know! 🙂
