With the mod team hard at work getting as much done as possible I would love to hear some of your thoughts on what you want to see, how you may like to see it presented and have a general discussion around member testing!

I am also excited to announce that not this week, but maybe in a few weeks or so we will be bringing in some special guests to discuss their products for member testing!

... do you envision this happening while the test is open for applicants, after tester selection, while the test is in progress…? Seems to me it would be especially interesting to hear prior to the test what they’re looking for from testers.

This suggests real communication and what a great way to help focus a group of potential testers for what they are submitting to join.  Would help to decide to test now or wait to test later for something more of interest to the potential tester.  Could also elevate the testing techniques, capturing the testing, and delivery of results.

I really like the opportunity to talk and get to know each other in ways that these text based communications cannot.  Got my recurring phone alarm set for Thursday 4pm EST, do you?

Love this topic and general idea! Been battling a cold all week and have lost my voice today, but hopefully it's back in time for tomorrow. Whether I can talk or not, I'm planning on joining!

Heading to the bruins game tomorrow evening but hopefully will be able to jump on this on the drive in! Excited to hear about all the hard work over the past year paying off

[GolfSpy AFG]

This still a "go" at 4 today?

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Great discussion today! Really excited for the year to come, Jamie! Sounds like the mod team is really going the extra mile for member testing this season!

Thanks for joining! 

It was a lot of fun as always and looking forward to next week!

Enjoyed the conversation guys and it was nice to get to actually talk to some of my fellow members.

Sorry I missed this it.  Sounds like a good one.

Another Monday another week for a community call!

This week we will go over the Survey Results and discuss what much of it means for us as a community, the forum members and where we take this information and use it as a mod team. 

We will also open this up for Open Chat to discuss anything that comes to the mind of those on the call or questions you may have. 

Finally if we burn through all that it is time to get into what have you tried and tested recently?

[sirchunksalot]

I'm looking forward to the call this week and really thankful my day for staying over at work is Thursday. I'll probably hop on sometime around 4:15 that way I have time to get the phone set up. 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

I am looking forward to it as well! Should be able to join as long as I don't have any last minute work schedule changes.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Reminder that tonight we will have our 3rd community call tonight at 4pm EST! 

If you have time to pop in and join us to discuss some of the survey results, some open discussion and what have you tested we would love to have you on!

Last minute change to my work schedule is forcing me to miss out on this week's call. Sorry, everyone! Hoping to be back on next week!

We missed you on there, but understand how work can throw a wrench into plans. 

[azstu324]

I need to find a new job just just so I can have a normal schedule that allows me to make these calls. My lunch is at 4 MST  

Anybody hiring?

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Hope the call went well! Unable to join this week’s

I keep hoping I'll see you and @GolfSpy_BOS on there. I like it because we actually get the chance to speak to one another. Although this week the group got to hear my hick accent peppered with congestion.

I will eventually!  We had a coworker leave so I’ve been running double duty on top of a major systems test. I’m responsible for forecasting and reporting on close to $3 billion in annual revenues. Kind of crazy to think of actually. Can’t wait for a new hire to take some of that on. Haha

Oh andddd we (the mod team) have been busy working to secure testing opportunities for the upcoming season!

Definitely understand, guys. I usually don't drop in until about 4:15 because of leaving work and travel time. 

Hopefully it'll calm down for you both soon and we'll look forward to that day.

So far I've been sporadically participating.  Dialing in on time but having to bail early, dialing in late, etc.  I apologize for that, but I do enjoy the calls, so thanks for putting up with my irregular attendance.

[GolfSpy_KFT]

The community calls have just been a blast so far. It’s nice to get to interact “face to face” instead of just through the message boards. I was bummed to miss today’s topic as I thought it was going to make for some really good discussion. Already planning for next week!

[azstu324]

Can we get a minute keeper appointed to post the topics discussed in each meeting?

The notes have to be significantly redacted due to the confidentiality of the conversations.  

Here are the the notes from today

[GolfSpy_APH]

US time change has thrown my schedule off a little bit. I should be there close to on time, but likely be a few minutes late. I will post the link up top and post it as soon as I am on and it is live!

Great to have you join us and thank you everyone else for dropping in!

Was a great call as usual and really have enjoyed these so far. Thanks for those that drop in and looking forward to next weeks!

[sirchunksalot]

I really enjoyed getting to talk to a couple of the newer participants of the call, it's enjoyable to talk to y'all here and was nice to get to know you over Zoom.
