event page on facebook

Following the positive experiences with the open source voice chat software Mumble during the chat meetings on August 5 and August 11 participants decided to call for the next meeting on Mumble on August 19 (sunday). The meeting will be used to update each other and continue coordinations for the GLOBAL EDUCATION STRIKE together.
Mumble includes a chatroom. You can also participate without a microphone.

::: How to join the Voice Chat Meeting :::

August 19th (sunday) -- 11am EST, 3pm UTC, 5pm CET, 8.30pm IST
(to check what time 3pm UTC is for you: www.timeanddate.com)

Now, Mumble can be used on computers and mobiles - just follow these steps to set it up:

DOWNLOAD

• Download Mumble for: Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, ANDROID or Linux 

INSTALL

• Install Mumble as you do with any other program and be sure to run/finish the 'Audio Wizard' when you start Mumble for the first time. Please select a 'Push To Talk button' when running the 'Audio Wizard', else in a room with 50 people it will possibly lead up to feedback or worse.

SET UP

• Once you have installed the Mumble software, click on: 'Server' > 'Connect' > 'Add new' and enter these details:
  Label: occupytalk.org
  Address: occupytalk.org
  Port: 64738
  Username: just pick one that is not too long
  -> Now click 'Ok' and double click on the server name to connect.
  You will be asked to accept a self-signed certificate (just select 'Yes') and now you are on the server.

DONE! you are now connected to the server.

Now, look for the sub-channel 'Global Education Strike' of 'Assemblies and Round Tables' and drop your profile in there.

You can mute and un-mute yourself by clicking the mic symbol on the top bar. To speak you need to un-mute yourself and keep the 'push-to-talk' button pressed. To configue your 'push-to-talk' button go to: 'Configure' > 'Settings' > 'Shortcuts'.

It is probably a good idea if everyone tries to install and enter the channel in advance.
