I'm assuming those of you in different timezones are more than happy doing the required math(s) to ensure you're around at the right time!</div><div><br></div><div>Here's my outline of the event. Please step up to the plate and 'sign up' to present different parts of the event. I'm not expecting any one person to run the 'complete' section, as I'm happy to be the host/compare. But I need to know who I'm talking with mostly in that section. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Part one: What is OVMS?</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>- </b>One of us, I'm suggesting Mark, should do a practical overview of OVMS, what it does, and why it's needed, as well as the cars it currently works with. Ideally, some screen shots and/or live demonstrations would be good. It's also really important to tell people how it differs from OEM's telematics, and how/why people may want to use it instead of them. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Part two: How do I get OVMS?</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><i><b>- </b>Basic </i>walkthrough on how to get hold of OVMS kit, along with 'what you'll need' for each main car. Talk about the various websites you can visit to buy the hardware, and recommendations for SIM cards. It's important in this section to differentiate between those who want to develop/write for OVMS, and those who just want to plug in and forget.</div><div><br></div><div><b>Part three: How do I set it up? </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>-- This should be a walk through from downloading the iOS and/or Android apps to plugging the final setup into the car's ODBII port. </div><div><br></div><div>Perhaps we could split this into further sections: </div><div><ul><li>What will you need<br></li><li>How to open up the kit<br></li><li>How to put the SIM card in<br></li><li>First connection<br></li><li>
etc etc. <br></li></ul></div><div><b>Part Four: Using and understanding the app. </b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Since this is partly different for each vehicle, we'd benefit from having some Tesla, Twizy and Volt specific sections here. But open to thoughts. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Part Five: Questions</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>We can either have a formal Q&A at the end of the hangout, or we could answer them throughout. My aim is to only allow those who have already volunteered (and those who have extra stuff to add now) in on the actually video side of the hangout. Everyone else will be able to watch. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>If we meet on Saturday ten minutes before the hangout is due to start, this should all be possible without too many problems. I will of course, need everyone's google ID so I can invite them in. </div><div><br></div><div>Nikki. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
