I just read on the Marklin Italian forum 3Rotaie (3Rails) that they are planning a virtual meeting of the members.

That sounds like a really good idea. BigGrin

This time the topic is "Rocrail".

Apparently it is easy to set up and there is a website that is behind it:

Virtual Meeting

I am just wondering if this is something we could organize.

We could actually speak to one another and also see what we look like. (OK, in my case it may not be all that great Scared )


If there is enough interest, we could set up a virtual meeting at a time when most of us would be... awake.

What do you think?

I think it is a great idea. As you say, it will need to be carefully timed but perhaps it may generate a lot of interest if we propose an agenda - like specific topics of interest or a workshop?

To be clear, we are talking about a VIRTUAL meeting, not a physical meeting.

As a result, distance is not a factor.

I just wanted to make this clear to everybody so that there is no confusion.

Anyone else interested in making it happen? ThumpUp

Count me in also . Many years ago I gave thought to using Yahoo groups as a carrier where live video could be used for a group of like minded people . Not enough people interested at the time , maybe scared to show their faces or their layout to other members but when you consider what other various groups are willing to do in cam these days I think it would take off ok in this group . Just need to buy a new cam with better vision than the older ones from years ago .

Cheers Tom in Oz .

I agree. We could also do it on a regular basis if it works and one or two people could give virtual layout tours for people to see.

Well, tomorrow, Friday July 15, 2016, I will join the Virtual Meeting that 3Rotaie is sponsoring and I will report on my experience trying it.

I have gone on the TeamViewer website and retrieved a manual that should guide us all in this new experience:

TeamViewer Manual

Perhaps we should all read it (those interested in participating, that is) so we can all be up to speed.

I will need two volunteers to try our own mock meeting so as to see if I can pull it together.

Let me know if anyone is willing to be a guinea pig. BigGrin

Thanks.

The only downside to it that I see (this applies to almost everyone in OZ) is the need for at least a 2 Mbps uplink to have any hope of decent video.... for the viewer that is. You would need closer to 3 or better 5 to achieve decent quality video streaming/conferencing.

In OZ most are lucky to have 1.5 Mbps and far more likely to have ~800 Kbps upstream. I get on average 15 down but only .8 up, so in my case all you would see is very choppy video although the audio would be fine (just way out of sync LOL )
Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under .

Hi, Shamu:

Are you and others in OZ (BigGrin ) able to watch Internet videos, as in You Tube?

If so, I think you should be OK. If not, then I can see your concern.

Having said that, we can try it and see what happens.

As I said, tomorrow I will try to join the 3Rotaie meeting with my PC and/or tablet and I shall report on my success ThumpUp or failure Woot.

This has been my average since transferring to NBN with Telstra . Most of Oz is still on ADSL & with the way this present bunch of idiots called the government want to screw us , not many households will get a upgrade for years to come . Oz used to be a world leader in comms but since it was privatised all profit now goes to shareholders & very little to infrastructure . We were promised world best comms & we have been given a string & a couple of tin cans instead .

I've used Teamviewer a few times but it has been a few years since the last time. I don't recall any issues or difficulties with it. I felt it was very easy to use, but I use other similar tools like Webex and GoToMeeting on a regular basis (because these are what my current employer supports) and the interface is very similar.

I had the meeting today and it was a very positive experience as far as learning about Rocrail is concerned. ThumpUp

However, the Teamviewer technical side is a bit of a concern for me.

I was able to SEE the desktop of the presenter, Lucio, but there were technical problems with respect to the audio of one of the attendees, Luigi. This concerns me.

Lucio explained that there was an echo that created problems for him coming from, Luigi. In the end, Luigi ended up using the chat to communicate. Hopefully that was an isolated incident.

Lucio heard my voice faintly but did communicate with me without any apparent problems. I saw him just fine, as I did Luigi, and the audio from Lucio was flawless.

Bottom line:

We need to test the system. The focal point of these meetings seems to be the desktop of the presenter (Lucio in this case).

Each guest could see the others (in a window on the side) and actually put his cursor on the presenter's desktop. The cursor of the guest then reveals whose cursor we are all looking at.

Let me learn how to organize a test virtual meeting and I will get back to you.

I am considering 10:00 am ,Toronto time, on a Saturday. What time would that be where Pmare and Francisco live? Would that be convenient?



Have a good weekend everybody. BigGrin

Oh dear! That's midnight here!

On the other hand, 10:00 in the morning here is 8:00 in the afternoon in Toronto. It looks like it's 8:00 where Francisco lives as well.

The only trouble is that you're actually a day behind, so it would be a Friday where you live and a Saturday where I live.

If these times are correct, then maybe we could have the trial meeting tomorrow? (so it will be a Saturday night for you and a Sunday morning for me)

Not so fast: I need time to understand how to set up the meeting as an organizer.

Give me a couple of weeks to digest it all.

As for the time, now that I see the time difference, we can play with the time lag better.

We shall have a meeting, I promise. BigGrin

If my math does not fail me, you guys are 14 hours ahead of me.

If so, NOW it's 9:48 AM in Toronto
--- for you, then it's 11:48 PM on Saturday night. So we are both working with a Saturday.

Please confirm this. ThumpUp



I have worked for hours to try to make TeamViewer work last night. Not an intuitive process. The manual....Cursing


Having said that, I think I finally managed to put it together BigGrin and can try a test run TODAY if either one of Pmare and Francisco is available.

I have things to do until 1:00 pm today (my time), so I could schedule a meeting at 1:30 pm. That would make it 3:30 am your time. Scared - not a good proposition.

How about 11:30 PM TONIGHT - my time - SATURDAY -- which makes it 1:30 PM on Sunday your time. Is either one of you available?


If so, please respond on this forum ASAP and send me a pm with your e-mail address so I can send you an invitation through the Teamviewer system.

Thank you.

Well, it's 6:38 pm in Toronto and have not heard from our friends.

As a result, let us see if anyone else is willing to be a guinea pig.

I will still try the 11:30 pm meeting today Toronto time - Saturday - while allowing anyone who dares try join in, including of course Pmare and Francisco.

To join a meeting this is what you do:

Please join the meeting, by clicking on this link:
11:30 pm Saturday meeting - Toronto date and time

Then put in the meeting ID: m69-222-497

(If needed, the address of TeamViewer is: www.teamviewer.com )

Well, the test meeting has just finished. Harold from Oakville attended as well as Pmare (Peter) from Australia and briefly Francisco as well from Chile. Altogether we were four.

Since Peter is 14, we had a gentleman, his father, approve of Peter being online with us. ThumpUp

There was a major problem with my audio and that spoiled the meeting. Scared

Peter and Harold could hear each other well but not me. Peter could hear me a bit but Harold not at all.

We could all see each other fine (but Harold's light came on and off darkening the view of his face fron time to time, especially at the beginning).

What can I say, we are still some way from making this a viable tool for communication among the members of the Forum.

Harold suggested that perhaps the local members here in Canada can try to resolve the technical issues before we give up on this software. I agree.

Have a good Sunday everyone. BigGrin

Silvano

P.S. In the meeting with the Italian forum, we also had problems with the audio of one of the three members. I suspect the software may not be all that good, at least as far as the free licence is concerned.

I have just logged into the virtual meeting site ok .

2 things that immediately come to mind are :


1 Can anyone host a meeting or do we need Silvano to be present to chair a meeting each time ?

2 On the screen it says what time the next meeting will be & a time is given but it does not indicate which time zone is being referred to ,it would be easier for those of us who do not live in the USA to work out local times if this was shown .

Looks good apart from those 2 things at first glance .


Cheers Tom in Oz.

I don't really know if these numbers mean anything, REALLY. However, to answer your question, I just did a speed test twice and both came back with over 20 Mbps download and over 1 Mbps upload. It was around 8:30 am on Sunday in Toronto, so I don't know if the Internet was faster as a result of less traffic (since many people are still sleeping, I think).

To me, a better way to ascertain whether my system is the culprit is to see what problems I have when I want to see YouTube videos or do anything that requires speed: none whatsoever on almost 100% of the sites.

I do believe that the problem does not reside in my equipment, but in the software of the company. Also, when I attended the 3Rail virtual meeting on Friday, at noon, my time, I had no problems, but someone else did. The meeting was held in Italy, obviously.

Cookee is right, maybe we should consider Skype as well. HOWEVER, as far as I know, you cannot use Skype to show your desktop to the others and give a visual explanation of what you are discussing. That is what Lucio (the presenter) did on Friday, and looking at his desktop was very useful. I was able to ask q's by making reference to the Rocrail picture Lucio had on his desktop - that I was able to see - and he replied by pointing to and/or circling the track in question to explain the point he was making. I was able to see all that as well.

Tom: By all means, do organize a meeting yourself and I will be glad to attend as a guest if I can stay up that late/early. Anyone can get a free non-business licence.

When I set up a meeting, the time zone shown is that in my neck of the woods, Toronto, Canada, which I then converted to your local time when I announced the meeting. As a result, as I am writing, it is by now just about 9:00 am on Sunday and where you are it's just about 11:00 pm also on Sunday; am I right? You may want to do a test meeting only for those of you who live in the Australian time zone and then tell us how it turns out.

As for me, I did find the experience interesting, but trying to learn how to set up the account and all the rest was very time-consuming - not at all intuitive and frustrating. I am still FAR from confident that I have mastered even the basics of the program. The manual was useless for my needs. Frankly, I am hoping to find a more friendly software that allows us to share the presenter's desktop.

Have a good day/night everybody. BigGrin

To me, a better way to ascertain whether my system is the culprit is to see what problems I have when I want to see YouTube videos or do anything that requires speed: none whatsoever on almost 100% of the sites.

When it comes to these sort of things (video conferencing) the ALL important factor is the "upload" speed, like i said for halfway decent results you need a good 2+Mbps. The download speed is a factor but if you don't have decent bandwidth upstream your video is going to be rubbish.
Sad when its cheaper to buy a new 29640 starter set from Germany than a CS2 on its own in Oz, welcome to the joys of Marklin down under .

I have used it a few time, participating in "webinars" training courses on the job.
I needed to use a phone-line participate in the talk, while I could hear everybody else through the streaming.
I dont find it practical for "our" use, but it may just be the way the host had implemented the system.
Something like skype would probably suit us better¿?
