<h2>Welcome every <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/counters/multicountdown.html">TimeZone</a>!</h2>

<em>If you keep talking, we'll keep recording.</em>
</p>
<p>For those who don't know, on New Years Eve 2024-12-31 10:00 UTC (5:00 AM EST), we will have a recording going on the HPR Mumble server for anyone to come on and say "Happy New Years" and talk about whatever they want. 
We will leave the recording going until at least 2025-01-01 12:00 UTC (7:00 AM EST), and keep recording until the conversation stops.</p>
<p>
So please stop in. Say "Hi" and maybe join in the conversation with other HPR listeners and contributors. It's always a good time!!<br />

<h2>History</h2>

<p>Suggested by <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0128.html">pokey</a> in 2011.
As podcasting tends to be a one way conversation, he thought it would be nice to get all the FLOSS, Linux, Free Culture, podcasters and Listeners in one place to get together and chat in person.
Initially it was planned to be just a few hours, but we kept missing members from other parts of the world. 
The show was extended to welcome ever time zone to the New Year, which actually turns out to be <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets">26 Timezones</a>.</p>

<p>So we will record for at least 26 Hours, but will keep the recording going for an "After Show".
Some years the after show has been even longer than the show itself.
While this is on the HPR Site, it is entirely a community initiative which is supported heavily by the fine folks over at the <a href="https://linuxlugcast.com/">LinuxLugCast</a>, with the Mumble Server been provided by <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0228.html">Delwin</a>.</p>

<h2>Ground Rules</h2>
<h3>Use Push to Talk</h3>

<p>With so many people on the chat, you must use push to talk. 
If there is a problem with your setup, then please drop and listen to the stream. 
Trying to correct poor audio in post is a lot of work, that someone else will have to do.</p>

<h3>Be Polite</h3>

<p>When you enter the room please do not interrupt ongoing conversations. 
Wait for a pause in the conversation and say Hi.
It's quite common for people you might not know to join as they wish to speak with other people in the room. 
They may have been waiting all year for the chance to meet, so please give people the space to have these conversations.</p>

<h3>Do not announce the Time Zones</h3>

<p>As there are so <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone">many Time Zones</a> there is no need to interrupt the conversation to announce every one. 
If you are joining from a time zone that is currently switching to the New Year, then please wait for a pause and wish people Happy New Year.</p>

<h3>Don't Fill Dead Air</h3>

<p>This is a relaxed meet-up, and not a traditional "Radio Broadcast". 
If there are no conversations going on at a given time, don't feel the need to "fill dead air". 
Before the recording is posted as a podcast the <a href="https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/truncate_silence.html">silences will be truncated</a>.</p>

<h3>Do not monopolise the conversation</h3>

<p>Please be mindful that you (or your beverage of choice) may be speaking too much ;-).</p>

<h3>You are a Guest</h3>

<p>Be respectful, and remember that attendance on the New Year Show does not <a href="https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/calendar.php">constitute a show</a>.</p>

<h3>CC-BY-SA</h3>

<p>The recording will be released as a podcast on HPR under a <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"> Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)</a> license. 
The recordings will be released mid year, when there is a lull in submissions.</p>
