Hi everybody,

Sorry in advance for the spam, I simply wanted to let you guys know that we're organizing a biweekly appointment with ChucK on the Facebook group. It's just an occasion to share works made with ChucK, focusing on sound and music, without getting lost in technicalities. The idea is to "force" us to do something creative, artistic, without worrying too much about the way the goal has been accomplished.

If you feel like you want to take part, please give us a shout: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1593843507578422/

Happy ChucKing,

Mario

Hi guys, I know the "platform choice" has always been an issue, and I'm not a Facebook fan as well, despite I still use it for certain things (ChucK group included). I'd like to find an alternative for sure, so I'm open to new proposal. But, at the same time I don't feel like I want to immediately drop the appointment on Facebook. We just started last week, the 29th, and I believe this things take time to "reach stability", plus changing platform after the first appointment could be confusing and daunting for some. That said, yes let's find an alternative to Facebook, totally up for that, as long as there are people supporting the thing and involved in the "organization". Let's find a solution here on the mailing list and try to get as much people involved as possible. cheers, Mario On Wed, 31 Oct 2018 at 23:12, Eugene Martynec wrote:

Hi Doug, Maybe I'm wrong about this and in that case I apologize, but my only concern is that the forum doesn't seem to be too active. I don't even know how many people are still using it. I personally check what's going on there from time to time, but nothing more really. I'm only scared that the 2::week=>FB disappears before it even starts. The 12th of November there will be the second appointment on the FB group, it's still a fresh thing and people are only now getting involved. I have to admit I'm a bit skeptical about moving it to the forum, at least now. But that said, I personally find the forum a better place to do this kind of things. I'm not a Facebook fan at all! But the reality is, more people use FB nowadays and it's not always easy to bring them elsewhere. I'm with you, the forum is way more appropriate, but if that means killing the thing... I don't really know if it's worth doing this. But that's just my point of view. I'm more than happy to discuss this, on the FB group as well. I mean, if we see more people asking the same, so let's move it :) cheers, Mario On 01/11/2018 16:20, Nunn, Douglas wrote:

Coming from the Csound community, which has a very active mailing list that seems to be the main channel of communication, I thought the ChucK community seemed pretty dead from the low volume of list mail. I also found the forum, but it's not laid out well to find the latest conversations, seems pretty archaic by modern web design standards, and has many threads where the last updated date is many years old. In short, it also looks dead. It seems that people are doing things, but communication is not well organized. On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 2:20 PM Michael Heuer wrote:

Heh, I’m also on the forum but not on Facebook. Is there some irony discussing this on an email list? Who uses email any more? ;)
