Which C?
Which country are you in? I am asking because the timing would be based out of this. I am from Hindustaan (India). First, you can make a group I'd of all the interested PMP-aspirants and then take it from there. Warmly, KK...

Time...
Hi Brittano, I feel we have to think in terms of an amicable time for all of us to meet through skype. Let's concentrate on setting the time first, amicably and then let us surge ahead. Warmly, KK...

Okay
I dont know much on Skype but someone told me that first individual ID's need to be configured. Well., if this is the case then my email id is krantikumar50@in.com
I feel we should start little early since your exam is approaching fast.

Agreed!
I would like to accomodoate everyone as well...
Here is what I will propose:
Tuesdays and Thursdays 6 or 7pm EST for 1 hour
I'm not sure what everyone else's time zone is, if you have any objections please let me know soon!
My Skype id: brittann57
KK-I've sent you an invite from Skype...
Thank you

Perfect
7PM EST would mean 8.30 AM Indian Standard Time. Hope everyone is fine with the time as it will be early morning here and most of us would be scrambling for their respective offices. Please re-think.
Favour needed: Could you please change my email id to krantikumarpmp@gmail.com.
In .com is not very trustworthy. More often than not, it hangs or is non-responsive.

Time Window
Let's give everyone by Monday to decide what times work best for them...after that we can get everything set up. Those wanting to join afterwards can still join, but it would be on the days/times that is agreed on.

7pm ET is 4.30 AM IST.
7pm ET is 4.30 AM IST.
I belong to ET zone and 7 PM is fine with me. However if we start at 8 PM ET it will be more convenient for everyone as 4.30 AM might be too early for some. People from India can attend it before they leave for work.
Also, please correct me if I am wrong, aren't we supposed to have a premium subscription to skype in order to be able to use conferencing feature.

Yes
Yes, if the day light saving is on then the difference is 2.30 hours else it is 1.30 in non-daylight saving.
So, 7 would be Irkhan, 7-1.30 or 5.30AM. Am I true Irkhaan or am telling the opoosite way around? Kindly guide.
By the way, is the daylight saving going on in US or no? I think it is from October-April, though I want your guidance on this.
Let us also keep this in mind before fixing the time to interact on skype!!!
Warmly, KK....

Yes
Yes, the daylight saving is on ( began Sunday, March 11, 2012,2:00am, and ends Sunday, November 4, 2012, 2:00am)
So, IST is 9.5 hours ahead of ET meaning if you add 2.5 hours to IST and convert the day/night to night/day you will have ET.
Firs thing we got to figure out is whether skype is the right application to do this online study. Anybody had experience doing this? I chat with my parents in India on Skype using Video and its pretty good but when I try to conference with my brothers at the same time in Middle East, it does not work. It tells me I should have a premium subscription in order to use this feature. So, that has been my experience with Skype. Are there other alternates?

Kickoff
Okay everyone, I've learned that I can use my Go-to-meeting account as the presenter.
I would have to send an invite to everyone, the invite will have a link that you click on when the meeting starts.
Also, there will be a number that you dial into.
I would need everyone's email address to send an invite.
I'm ready to get this going and am planning Friday 5:30am EST to start.....
Please send your email addresses to britt.ann12@gmail.com
Thanks
