TCAP, a French version of HCWP!
« on: October 14, 2011, 10:36:38 pm »
T'as une Calto? Allons Programmer!

One year ago, Raylin and KermMartian of Cemetech were introducing "Have Calc? Will Program!". Usually refered to under its acronym HCWP, this is a weekly gathering of calculator programmers from Cemetech, #ti and some Omnimaga members, on a voice chat service called Tinychat, where instead of discussing calculators, programming and miscellaneous stuff solely through a text medium, calculator community members would do it via a voice chat protocol instead, allowing a closer interaction between community members. Every Wednesday at 8 PM GMT-5, people gathers together at http://tinychat.com/havecalc and talk. HCWP celebrated its first year anniversary last Wednesday.

However, unlike Cemetech, Omnimaga is frequented by many French people and is affiliated with two major French calculator websites. While they could join Cemetech's HCWP conferences, the language barrier often becomes an even bigger issue through voice communication mediums than text ones, and we thought that it would be a nice idea if Omnimaga had a French version of HCWP.

So tonight, we are introducing TCAP, which stands for "T'as une Calto? Allons Programmer!", the same name as the Cemetech's English counterpart, although in French. While HCWP occurs on Wednesday evenings, TCAP will occur on Saturday afternoons, starting at 1 PM/13h00 of Québec time and 7 PM/19h00 of France time, starting tomorrow afternoon/evening. So basically people now have two options for calculator voice chat conferences. We hope that you enjoy it and we hope that if Juju and myself come online sometimes that you do not have too much trouble understanding our Canadian accent. :P

Link to the new TCAP voice chat room (for French): http://tinychat.com/tcap
Schedule: Every Saturday, 1 PM/13h00 GMT-5, 7 PM/19h00 GMT+1

We hope you got a microphone and even a webcam, although it is fine if you do not have one of those, although we hope some at least do so it won't defeat TCAP's purpose. :P

EDIT (Sat. 18h15 GMT-5): The first edition of TCAP was an overwhelming success, over 15 people attended, with at least 8 with their webcams, including several members of Omnimaga, TI-Planet, Espace TI and Planète Casio. Hope we'll see you next week!

Lol there are a bunch of people actually. Earlier only me and Juju had a mic, though. Now there are more though, although I have to go in 15 minutes.

We were 7-8 cams earlier, before DJ joined, but nobody really talked. Then everyone went to eat, I think.

Well, we did, at the beginning, but everyone got bored.

Yeah. Well remember the English one sometimes has no prog talk tho. Also it can be about general calc stuff, although preferably stuff other than "Hi how do i tern my clac ON? I'm n00b ciao takes too long to answer" We talked a bit about calc sound and it was kinda interesting although at one point there was a lot of lag, like Adriweb and Eiyeron sound cutting off while they talk, so some parts of the convo might have been unheard. I think it's probably because we hosted it on an american server, so latency became an issue at times.

I hope next Saturday I can come for much longer than 45 minutes. I had to go work.

Advice: Close Facebook while on Tinychat! it seems to reduce lag considerably.

Yeah, when I made my demonstration with my calcs and my electric guitar, was rather interesting.
