Bangalore lakes BWSSB Praja Project

We have waited long enough for more people to show interest and join. Let us get started. A meeting with BWSSB should happen soon. Before that, let us meet in this "quick and easy" online way to talk what we will do and list first set of tasks.

Time: Monday, 4th May, 9 PM (so that we are all back home from work)

Venue: Skype teleconference

Hope that key guys like Zenrainman and Rithesh can make it. More the merrier. Those who want to join, please leave a comment, and send me a private message with your skype id. I will initiate the conference at 9 PM on Monday

We expect BWSSB/Lakes engagement/tracking projects to involve meetings, RTIs and a few site visits.

PS: I have done Skype conf calls with upto 10 people without much problem.

Just the two of us?

The site structure doesn't help - projects and events get mixed up with discussions, which are clearly the attention magnates on this site.

what equipment is reqired at my end to join?

Requirements to join this meeting

silkboard - 4 May, 2009 - 05:52

Requirements - PC/Laptop with microphone, Broadband connection. Here are the instructions to join these skype meetings

  • Download and install skype from www.skype.com. It is a program like yahoo/MSN messenger, but with very good capabilities to do "voice chat" (or internet phone call).
  • Your PC should have a microphone attached. Laptops have it by default. Desktop PCs may need a mic attachment.
  • Preferable to have a headphone as well (otherwise, voice chat may be bad due to "feedback" problem)
  • Register to get your personal skype account
  • At the scheduled meeting time, login to Skype program on your computer, and be ready to receive an "internet call"

Once you are done with above, just private_message/email me your skype id. I will conference all skype ids I get.

For privacy reasons, it is best not to announce personal skype ids on an open forums, thats why this private message business.

With time, we will do more of these skype meetings (we are all part-timers here, frequent face to face meetings are not possible), so better get setup and build our Praja contact lists in skype.

I am also on skype
