Hi All,

I've just renamed the echomail base from "The Echo Chamber" to "Demoscene Party Events" - the echo tag will change in the future to suite.

This is going to be similar to the Linux and Science News bases and it will post automatically all demoscene party events as they are posted to demoparty.net so you'll never miss one going forward =)

Hopefully this works out a treat, I've already scraped all available today so any new ones will appear in due course.
Lemme know what you think, and if you like or don't like the idea.

I like the idea. Didn't realie evoke had came back around this weekend.

Someone posted URL in #synchronet on irc.synchro.net so i watched a little.

Look forward, to possibly catching other events. I know I will not be able to travel to them. But will be glad to watch them when they are available.

Thanks.

I feel silly... what is "The Echo Chamber"? I don't seem to recall ever seeing an echo by this name.

This is what the last infopack has:

TQW_ADS - BBS Adverts
TQW_BBSGEN - General BBS Chat
TQW_BOT - roBOT output
TQW_DOCKER - Homelab Chat
TQW_GEN - General Chat
TQW_GENSCI - General Science News
TQW_GENTECH - General Technology News
TQW_LINUX - Linux
TQW_MACOSX - Mac OS X
TQW_MBSE - MBSE BBS Chat
TQW_MDEV - Mystic BBS Development
TQW_MYS - Mystic BBS Chat
TQW_PYTHON - Python General Chat
TQW_RASPBPI - Raspberry Pi
TQW_SUG - Suggestions Box
TQW_SYNCHRO - Synchronet BBS Chat
TQW_TEST - Test Echo

Am I missing one?

No you're not missing it, I never advertised it, as it was supposed to be for a project by someone else, who wanted to distribute their "ezine" to a dedicated echomail base, but that never seemed to take off - so I decided to reuse the base for this new idea.

If it's something people are interested in, I will add it to the infopack as an "official" echomail base =)

Lemme know what you think, and if you like or don't like the idea.

yes, there is an active demoscene out there that is not mirrored in the FTNs of the BBSes. at least in those FTNs i am a member of. So i think it is a good idea to share the news about those parties and their releases ait more (and even discuss when there is something to discuss about those events /releases).
And there are many around the world. At least in the summer i guess =)
Since a part of those demo parties is also about preservation of the retro tech and 8bit demos etc, i feel that we, running our retro BBSes, are a part of that. So we should support the demoscene a bit more.

btw. why not create BBS ads in demo form? =)

Furthermore it can be kind of fun to have a watch party in MRC chat etc when they have live streams from the party events.

I did start to write something ages ago but gave up frustrated because I couldn't really figure out how to do what I wanted to do lol, I will need help from a proper programmer! =)

Kinda like we did just last night for Evoke, and what we did for Revision earlier in the year at Easter time? That was fun!

I think they will stream here;

I'm waiting for a reply from them in mastodon; https://mas.erb.pw/@meatlotion/115049465402113216

Will let you know if that's confirmed or there's another address to catch the stream

Lets hope they have a stream! It's not trivial to mix all signals together into a presentable stream. You could see at evoke that it does not work right away always. ;)

They got back to me, and said they will stream via scenesat (as usual) - I don't know if that means anything for you, but I had a look around and didn't see anything that might lead me to their stream.
