YUI: Open Hours for Friday, April 23rd

April 22, 2010 at 12:32 pm by Luke Smith | In Development | 4 Comments

The next installment of YUI: Open Hours is tomorrow, Friday the 23rd!

The first Open Hours was a huge success, with about 30 people joining in and some great conversation and feedback for both Lauren Smith’s YUISand Gallery module as well as for YUI.

The time will be the same as before, 10am – 12pm PDT. The primary agenda item for this week will be an introduction and code review of Eric Ferraiuolo‘s Component Manager Gallery module. I’m also going to start opening the conversations with a "YUI 3 tip or trick" of sorts.

This week, we’ll be joined by fellow YUIer Satyen Desai (@dezziness), the lead architect behind the Attribute, Base, and Widget infrastructure pieces in YUI 3. (If you’d like to meet Satyen before the event, you can do that on YUI Theater.)

Like before, the plan is to use Adobe Connect for screen sharing and do voice over a conference bridge. This is the info for joining in:

Dial in to 1-888-371-8922 (non-US participants, email me for a local number)
Enter the attendee code 47188953
Join the screen sharing session (this will prompt you to install the Adobe Connect plugin if this is your first time using it)

And as mentioned with the first YUI: Open Hours, you can keep up to date with the upcoming schedule and topics by following @yuilibrary on Twitter or subscribing to the YUI Event Calendar.

If this is the first you’ve read about YUI: Open Hours, it’s an open forum with myself and other YUI team members and some great minds from the YUI community. You can read more about it here.

Hope to see you there!

Can you provide more information for those, who are not familiar with Adobe Connect?
1. Why should we dial to this phone number?
2. Where should we enter these numbers: 47188953?
3. The link you provided points to a page with two other links – for YAHOO! employees and non YAHOO employees. What is the relation between this phone number and the links?

Adobe Connect is used for screen sharing, so folks can see what we’re talking about in a walk-through presentation sort of way. The phone number is to a generic conference call service, and the participant number links you into the specific Open Hours conference call.

1. If you want to hear the conversation (this is the whole point, really)
2. Dialing the phone number, you will be answered by an automated system prompting you to enter the participant code.
3. No relation. Adobe Connect and the conference bridge are completely separate. We haven’t found a single app that does quality conference audio as well as screen sharing with the sort of functionality that we need.

You mean, I will hear the conference by using the phone (instead my headphones), but I will see what is going on the conference on the screen?

Right. The audio is over the phone (or Skype if you prefer). Adobe Connect is used to show you my screen or Eric’s screen (or the appropriate component author) as we walk through the code or share other visual aids.
