Re: PostgreSQL Hangout

Hi All,

We are organizing a Hangout session for PostgreSQL.

Postgres Performance Diagnostics: Busting that slow running SQL

Idea is people will be able to watch this live on Youtube while we discuss
on "Getting to a Slow Running Query". The time is 4:00 PM SGT / 1:30 PM IST
/ 8:00 AM GMT on Thursday 17th April 2014 [a day before Easter].

You can rsvp here on Google Plus page:
https://plus.google.com/events/cm0roo9chi2s6p3afp679lhv1bk

Or add this event to your google calendar:
bit.ly/1e6S626

Or download the ics file to add to ical or Outlook:
bit.ly/1kF51qw

You can stream the video live over here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihh4xRCSotI

I will be adding this to the events page as well.

Sounds cool! Too bad I won't be able to make it (1am at home).

Word of warning: if you stop/pause a Hangout, you can't restart it; you
have to create a new one with a new URL. This is the crippling bug with
Hangout ...

We knew we will miss some or the other region :-(

But we are planning to do another one which could suit Americas and Western
Europe. We can host it but it will be great if someone else from community
will join us as a speaker.

Oh! Thanks for your word of caution.

If you create a Google calendar event with the video chat option enabled, I believe it creates a persistent URL that you can click to join the in-progress hangout, or start it if no one’s currently on.

In fact one can watch the live discussion on youtube or can watch the video
of whole discussion latter.

AFAIK there's no way to do that with "public" hangouts ("Hangouts On
Air"). The gcal ones are private hangouts only.

I think though you can not create one from gcal (by checking the video call
feature in a gcal appointment) but you can just create an event from
google+ page and it will send invite all specifically specified
participants. You will add "Public" and any specific participants by name
or circle. That is how we did it and we have got it in our calendars.

Right, and my issue was when I tried to set up a Hangout from a calendar
item, I couldn't set up a Hangout Live so it could be public. That
could be done only from the Hangout Live page, which does NOT offer
persistent URLs.

I'd like to find a way around this so that we can use it for PUGs.

I think the URL we got is persistent. I mean the live youtube feed was
available while I was talking and then the same youtube URL is available as
recorded video...

I think it will be a great idea to do it for PUGs.

Or are you referring to Calendar URL?
