- BBB has breakout rooms, might be worth looking into if it scales up a lot; Jitsi can have multiple people sharing screens at the same time;
- EmacsNYC said Jitsi is okay for the 20-30 people they've seen so far; EmacsBerlin said the same too (I think they self-host; want to see how they're doing it?). Sounds like it's much better now than it was last year
- dto will figure it out and write things up =)
- - bhavin192: Mailing list for meetups (some common prefix or something similar).
- - bhavin192: Update to Code of Conduct (I was hoping to use the same text or page for Emacs APAC meetup)
+ - one-on-one tutorial was nice; finger memory for how to type some of these Lisp expressions
+ - it's better to have that interactivity, I think, since there are plenty of lecture-type resources on the Net
+ - one-on-one is fine, and then you can scale up (1-on-2, etc.) as you become more comfortable with it and see what can help you scale (ex: having them SSH into a shared server with emacsclients and then being able to quickly flip through their buffers so that you can peek over their shoulder or quickly show something?)
- gopar: upcoming podcast recording re: EmacsConf experience

+ - figuring out name
+ - planning to have a little buffer
+ - Hey, do you want to blend that into the Emacs Lisp / Emacs tutorial/workshop idea? Whenever you don't have any content, you can teach people a little more

+ - zaeph: figuring out collaborating via Org Mode
+ - per-project pages make sense if you think about it from the web publishing point of view
+ - bandali: can be a different wiki if you want
+ - zaeph is a little intimidated by the idea of working with the garage door open
+ - there is already a private organizer wiki, so we can use that to incubate things if you want to collaboratively work on notes and stuff
+ - also totally okay to work on things individually and not collectively if you want, and we don't have to figure out workflows that work for everyone or a name that covers everything; sounding official increases expectations and may cause problems
