[Coco] Virtual CoCoFEST! On CoCoTALK! Saturday April 18th @ 2:00 PM EDT

   I don't blame you for not wanting to use the Zoom service. News like
   this article is scary stuff. I'd recommend anyone who has ever used
   Zoom or is thinking of using Zoom in the near future to make sure their
   password is changed and *not* the same on other web services.

     Thank you for the invite.

     However, since Zoom has been routing many of its sessions through
     servers in China, and since Zoom is currently under investigation by
     the FBI, I am boycotting Zoom and will not participate in any Zoom
     sessions of any nature whatsoever, unless overwhelming circumstances
     force my participation.

     I consider this to be a matter of personal and National honor.

     CoCoFEST! May be postponed, but it doesn’t mean we still can’t
     gather,
     virtually at least, and that’s the focus of this weeks’ CoCoTALK! Is
     to
     have a global, virtual CoCoFEST!

     If you were planning on
     attending/exhibiting/vending/presenting/speaking,
     we would love to have you join us and share with everyone what you
     would
     have at the FEST!

     We’ll be meeting via ZOOM, and a secure, password protected ZOOM
     link will
     be provided to those who’d like to attend.  If you’ve never used
     ZOOM,
     you’ll need to get the client installed from https://zoom.us/

     You can do a live presentation, if your setup allows that, even
     screen-share something, if needed.  If your technology, schedule,
     bandwidth, etc. are not conducive to doing it live, we can
     coordinate with
     you to get your presentation and show it on your behalf.

     There are very few reasons or obstacles to participating that we
     can’t help
     you overcome if you’re interested in helping us keep CoCoFEST! Alive
     this
     weekend.

     Join us on our CoCo Discord server to discuss
     https://discord.gg/4J5nHXm or
     send an email to cocotalk at cocotalk.live to indicate your interest in
     participating, and we can work out the details with you in advance.

     The event will stream live, Saturday April 18th @ 2:00 PM EDT on
     YouTube
     and Facebook, you can get links at http://cocotalk.live the primary
     feed to
     YouTube is http://live.cocotalk.live

     Let’s not let this weekend and the 40th anniversary of the CoCo go
     to waste.
