<div dir="ltr">Bryan,<div><br></div><div style>Thanks for the link to <a href="http://doodle.com">doodle.com</a>. I will have to look at it more closely, but it sure does look like it would have helped with this event.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Concerning Google Hangouts vs IRC, I'm afraid there are a couple of reasons IRC would not work for this event. The first is it is already scheduled as a Google+ Hangout, so it is really too late this time around for any significant change. Note, it is an On-Air hangout, so people can view the hangout from the event page even if they don't have Google+ accounts (the live YouTube stream will be visible on that page once the hangout starts). Second, Mach 30, the organization running the event, has found video events like this to be very engaging (we recently held our 2nd annual online Yuri's Night Party over an On-Air hangout), so we are pretty committed to the hangout format for this event. That being said, I would be happy to join a similar round table over IRC if someone was interested in organizing it.</div>
