WikiStammtisch

Liebe Delphine,

ich möchte Dich gern zu meinem WikiStammtisch Podcast einladen. https://wikistammtisch.de Mir fielen etliche Themen ein, über die wir sprechen könnten, aber die Entscheidung überlasse ich Dir gern selbst.

Der Ablauf ist relativ simpel: Wir klären vorher ungefähr, worum es gehen soll, wir unterhalten uns per Skype oder per Telefon und ich veröffentliche es, wenn Du damit einverstanden bist. Ich schneide nicht groß, maximal nehme ich ein paar Huster raus und minimieren das Rauschen.

Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen.

Herzlichen Gruß --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 07:00, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Sebastian! Yep, wäre interessant :) Ich bin am Wochenende auf dem Weg nach Frankreich, und in Frankreich nächste Woche, aber wir können trotzdem Skypen. bitte aber per email delphine [bei] notafish.org kommunizieren :) notafish }<';> 21:58, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

hi @Notafish: Wann hast Du mal anderthalb Stunden Zeit für unser Podcastgespräch? Liebe Grüße, Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 11:26, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome back

I've seen only now. I'm excited to see what you do next! Nemo 09:03, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Heh. I hope we get to talk soon... And yes, I'm back. ;-) notafish }<';> 16:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
