Join in! And meet us ...

It's fairly easy to participate to JOTI. All you need is one or more computers, a modem and a phone line. As software you will need at least:

  • a web browser
    such as Netscape or Internet Explorer

  • an email program
    Or you can use the built-in e-mail feature of the web browser

  • a chat program (IRC client)
    to meet and chat with other people in real-time


There are many other items that you could use to enhance your JOTI experience. Check with your friends what you have at hand. Here are some ideas:

  • Use a fax to send hand-written greetings to other groups

  • Use a scanner to scan pictures and logos of your scoutgroup and the place where you live.

  • Connect a microphone to your computer's sound card and talk with other people using a voice-capable chat program such as vIRC or by joining our eGroups Chat area.

  • Ask a local radio-amateur club for help and talk or morse with other scoutgroups from all over the world over radio and TV waves.

  • Borrow a digital camera and take live snapshots of the participants.

  • Use a webcam to post regular snapshots of your location on the web during JOTI.
