I have Gobby installed successfully on my Win System and can either host
or join the session, if it happens.

Looks a great tool.

We have an IRC channel #forrest-gobby open on Freenode if people need
help with Gobby.

I've opened the session, and will have it open for the next hour. Mail 
me privately for IP and password details.

If you are behind a firewall ensure you open port 6522.

If you have problems with connecting you can contact me via skype 
(rgardler) or via email.

I'll report back to the list on our opinion of the software.

OK, there are lots of people wanting to try. I'm going to just state a 
time I will be online and see how many people are able to join in.

This is an informal test so don't worry if you can't make it, if this 
test goes well, we'll try something a little more formal for a Forrest 
Tuesday (but we need to sort out the mac installation issues first, 
until then we stick with IRC).

We will use Gobby to create a How To on participating in a Forrest 
Tuesday event using Gobby. I've already created the skeleton for this 
document. We need to get things like install gotchas into the document. 
If anyone has a Mac and can figure out the install for that platform it 
would be superb. If it works out we'll have a useful document, if not 
we'll no not to try Gobby until more work is carried out.

So...

I will be hosting a session from 10pm until 11pm BST Sunday 2nd [1]. To 
get my IP address and the password for the session email me privately 
(anytime) or if you can SKYPE [2] me (username rgardler).

I will check my email periodically during the session so if someone is 
trying to connect but can't just send an email to this list, we'll help 
try and sort it out here.

I have it installed on Ubuntu and WinXP and should be around now for sessions.  
I'm pretty flexible with times.
