From my experience helping people to get OVMS running, I think we should make sure the following are covered:

1) Confirming the position of the GPRS slide switch.
2) Explaining the differences between the vehicleID, 2 usernames, and 4 different passwords that need to be entered. (Bet you can't name all 4 passwords off the top of your head!)
3) Use of the OVMS provisioning web page.
4) Understanding the OVMS module's LED status blink codes.
5) Understanding the different antenna statuses on the smartphone apps.

Have we identified any cars that have OVMS hardware installed but not yet provisioned, so that we can run through at least one example? Do we have the ability to show input/output from SMS on a smartphone or to stream what the smartphone app is showing?

Folks,

We've had the responses and it seems like Saturday, January 4 is the best
time and 5pm GMT is the best time for the hangout! 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!

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.


*Part one: What is OVMS?*

*- *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.

*Part two: How do I get OVMS?*

*- Basic *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.

*Part three: How do I set it up? *

-- 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.

Perhaps we could split this into further sections:

   - What will you need
   - How to open up the kit
   - How to put the SIM card in
   - First connection
   - etc etc.

*Part Four: Using and understanding the app. *

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.

*Part Five: Questions*

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.


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.

Nikki.

Hey Nikki,
You will be putting all this later in one youtube video?  I guess if you
want to show and explain things extensively, a video-series would be more
appropriate.
Else it could become one video of several hours!
Anyhow I hope to be able to watch everything again and again afterwards! :-)

Wish you all goodluck

Kind greets
JC
