 - mplsCorwin's livestreaming project, working on trimming
 - Writing about Emacs: zaeph
 
+* January 21, 2021 meeting
+
+- Updates:
+  - Sacha: one more talk left to transcribe for day 1, hooray!
+    Everything else has been edited. Next step for day 1 is to edit
+    the subtitles into transcripts and make them available. Also want
+    to check if ableplayer passes LibreJS, since that can give us
+    clickable transcripts; will include text transcript anyway for
+    non-JS.
+  - zaeph: Emacs Research Group wants to meet daily
+  - bandali: A little tired because of work; but good progress is
+    being made (yay!).  Some progress done on the podcast.
+  - corwin: mental health improving; looking forward to getting back
+    to the swing of things :)
+- Next EmacsConf: Calendar?
+  - We could stick to the same period as 2020's edition (i.e.,
+    mid-November to mid-December)
+  - CFP?
+    - start earlier: accomidated anticipated higher
+      - First entire week of July might be a good time: it'd give us 4
+        months before the actual conference
+  - Office hours
+    - Could be used for the outreach part of the CFP
+    - Could also keep people excited about EmacsConf
+    - On the format
+      - A regular timeslot where people can join
+      - We ask them whether we could use a recording of the session to
+        build some hype for the EmacsConf
+      - We can also have a private moment with them to address some of
+        the possible problems with their talk/topic
+      - Short-ish and regular works best, probably
+    - Let's work on this during February, and let's aim for a first
+      session in March
+      - if there are not presentations we can record and share we
+        could use clips from recent orginizer meetings; we could close
+        meetings with statements intended for this use.
+- On having multiple tracks for the next EmacsConf, either
+  simultaneous or single-threaded
+  - Three tracks based on levels of mastery, e.g.:
+    - Beginners
+    - Pro-users
+    - Package developers
+  - Last year, we had de-facto tracks, or recurring topics like music,
+    academic research, SVG-graphics, games, typography/themes,
+    free-software philosophy, etc.
+    - We could use this info for the *outreach program*: 'We'd love to
+      have people come talk to us about music'
+- Overhauling the graphics for the conferenc
+  - Posters?
+  - Scenes in OBS
+  - Custom dashboard.el ?
+- Figuring out the roles for the next EmacsConf
+  - Fleshing out roles for everyone in advance (so that we're not
+    figuring it out one week prior) and along with this any private
+    comms to faciliate (e.g. iff voice-over and cuts are different
+    roles).
+- Diversity discussions
+  - Taking inspiration from the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines
+- On changing the time for the weekly meeting
+  - Corwin is happy to keep the same time because it'll motivate him
+    to wake up early on Saturdays
+  - We could have a monthly session which takes place on a weekday to
+    try to get more people on board (David O'Toole, David Bremner,
+    Karl Voit, etc.)
+
+- Ongoing projects for February:
+  - FSF Fiscal sponsorship (Leo)
+  - Office hours roadmap (Leo)
