+The server running bbb.emacsverse.org has been decommissioned, since the nonprofit that shared it with us is defunct.

+- We'd like to figure out what our live Q&A setup is going to be for EmacsConf 2024 (Dec 7-8).
+- Nice to have: Hosting for other Emacs meetups like Emacs APAC and OrgMeetup
+- [[https://sachachua.com/blog/2023/12/emacsconf-backstage-figuring-out-our-maximum-number-of-simultaneous-bigbluebutton-users/][Stats from last year]]: 31 meetings, 84 unique users, 62 max simultaneous users, 6 max simultaneous meetings, 27 max users in one meeting, 36 unique talking
+  - also includes some notes on hosting
+
+Some options:
+
+- Go back to using meet.jit.si
+  - Free:
+    - Need to check speed, reliability
+    - Can send RTMP from the meeting itself
+  - Paid: USD 99/month + $0.01/min for recordings + $0.01 min (optional) for RTMP streaming
+- Try to squeeze it onto res.emacsconf.org
+  - Tricky to run on a shared server; it likes to use a lot of ports and strongly recommends running it on its own server
+- Linode with 16GB RAM and 8 cores
+  - Dedicated CPU 16GB is $.216/hour at Linode
+  - Premium CPU is $.26/hour
+  - Plus block storage, $1/10GB/month charged hourly (recommended 500, so $+18/month)
