I’m not totally sure when Kinopio first released, but I see the Hello Kinopio blog post was in August 2019.
Inspired by the Party in a shared google doc, I wondered if we could have an all-day drop in birthday party for Kinopio??
I’d really like to use the live collaboration features which I haven’t tried before, and I think the Kinopio “energy” would suit this kind of event really well! People getting creative together and seeing where it goes.
What do you think? 
Cool idea! So sometime in August 2021?
Yeah! Maybe at a weekend, so it can cover a few timezones. Do you know what weekend would be closest to when Kinopio was “born”? 
looking through my commit history for the client repo,
the first commit was may 16, but that was basically just a default vue project
here are the earliest commits in august
I couldn’t find any clear ‘public release’ type of milestone commits though so we can keep specific dates flexible. Basically, what’s the most convenient time/day for the most ppl in august would work for me. Maybe the first weekend, is Saturday aug 7 the easiest?
I have a thing on Sunday 8th so if it was on Saturday 7th in GMT/UTC zone that would be swell 
I imagined it could be centered on a space that was yours, Pirijan, so it’s got that “official” feel, and could be promoted thru the Kinopio twitter if you saw fit?
And if people link to out-of-band things like other Kinopio spaces, this forum, and even Discord channels then we just welcome that… it’s all jazz, man 
Don’t want to rules lawyer how people have an online party… 
Yeah I’m down with that, I’ll make a plan in a couple days. Basically, maybe I:
how does that sound?
do you think it should only live in space, or should there be a vid chat component ? I probably wouldn’t be able to be in there 24/7 tho and I wouldn’t want it to feel like a ghost town
My opinion is to schedule a short time that folks can video chat (like for an hour?). Have an RSVP to ensure enough participation. But keep it informal and low pressure. 
is there a preferred way to have an RSVP? (google form? open kinopio space?)
for the purposes of setting up a kinopio party, I think using kinopio would be fitting and capable
Again, coming from the influence of that Google sheets party I think it would be fun if Kinopio was the only first-class venue, video chat is exhausting!
Collab in Kinopio looks very active and colourful and tangible. I think it gives a sense of presence and personality from the videos I’ve seen. I just think it’s a cool opportunity to go deep on Kinopio’s strong points without depending on zoom and its ilk.
RSVP in it’s own space would be cool
And your plan posted above sounds good Pirijan 
Yo, it’s August
No obligation to do this, just thought you might appreciate the reminder. Could be a good marketing thing
since this thread started there’s now a kinopio discourse that might get be a better place to get this thing started
Not as grass-roots, but I do have other additional (secret for now) plans for the 2yr occassion too (tba in the next few weeks)
Yeah, fair enough, I’ll have to get on the Discord some time
2yr sounds mysterious and exciting!
