+* March 13, 2021 meeting
+
+- Usergroups calendar
+  - TODO: Update [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups][EmacsWiki : Usergroups]] with new dates
+  - TODO: Smoothing out the process for publishing the agenda
+
+- CNAME for the FH BBB instance
+  - Will require at the very least an nginx update
+  - Problems with logging in into the server
+    - We’re not receiving emails from their own server; SMTP negotiation isn’t working properly
+    - In the mean-time, bandali suggested using his FSF email in the meantime
+    - TODO: bandali & mplsCorwin working it out with the FH team
+
+- Emacs-SF & publishing the presentations
+  - Mike & Jeff (the organizers of Emacs-SF)
+    - Mike is excited about the whole process and might be a worthy addition to the EmacsConf team for next year
+  - usergroup-organizers-notebook
+    - TODO: Simplify the guide
+      - ToC?
+      - Tracking who is speaking (e.g. during question-time)
+  - Problem with Firefox and spliced video being identified as corrupted
+    - Troubleshooting
+      - Checking logs in various players
+    - Submitting a bug-report upstream to FF?
+    - YouTube might be able to handle it?
+    - Maybe we could fiddle with BBB encoding options
+    - We’ll be figuring out the workflow in the coming weeks
+
+- zaeph: Emacs/org-mode
+  - dto might be interested in checking in with this?
+    - We could send him the recordings and improve the workflow
+
+- BBB considerations
+  - TODO #A: Download all the recording sessions for EmacsConf & ERG
+  - We could upload them to FH’s server
+
+- Moving to FH’s BBB
+  - Soft deadline linked to CNAME redirection
+  - No problem whasoever
+  - We could use the instance for other related endeavours (as we would use an empty classroom in a school)
+
+- No session next week
+  - LibrePlanet will be on, and we’ve only taken 1 week of break since the EmacsConf
+  - Probably no ERG session as well
+
+- Next EmascsConf and BBB
+  - We’re hoping to make better use of BBB for the next edition
+  - LibrePlanet is looking into OBS-to-BBB streaming, and based on their experience, we might be able to optimise our own streaming workflow
+    - The only thing we’d need to adjust to control the OBS socket via Emacs!
+
+- Could FH provide us with server power to run expensive processes
+  - Mike will provbide his server for Emacs-SF
+  - Rigbht now, we have:
+    - VPS primarily for computation; a commodity for post-processing pipeline
+    - BBB instance (2nd VPS with only BBB on it
+    - CDN service (PacketFrame); mirroring service
+    - Hosting space (200 GB) for each instance
+      - Since a usual 2h recording for a usergroup or an EmacsConf/ERG session is about 500 MB, that leaves us plenty of room (2000 videos)
+  - Specs:
+    - Decent CPU?
+    - BBB instance
+    - 16 GB of ram
+  - Since mplsCorwin had told us to ask FH if we needed more facility, they could probably accommodate us
+  - We could get the VPS talking together to post-process the BBB recording
+  - For now, the two instances are probably going to be enough; we can consider requesting an update later
+
+- Podcast
+  - Aiming for releasing the first episode in mid-April
+  - The first two episodes are more-or-less set in stone
+  - Regarding guests
+    - bandali & gopar might need to figure a time to get zaeph on board to talk about
+      - 2nd week of April might be best wrt the timing of the crowdfunding campaign
+      - That would be the 3rd episode
+  - shoshin for the podcast intro
+    - bandali pinged them, but no news
+    - Ping them again?
+    - Otherwise, we might call for people to contribute free music that we could use
+  - Finding a release day
+    - bandali wanted something between Mon-Wed
+    - We don’t need to come up with a solid day right now
+
+- Next actions:
+  - bandali:
+    - Check how much server space we have with FH (200 GB?)
+    - Get access to FH’s server to zaeph and sacha
+    - Figure out how to change the domain name with the FH BBB instance
+    - Check if the server power have available on FH now is enough for our bidding
+      - We could also use the beefy servers to which bandali has access to process
+  - zaeph:
+    - Update [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups][EmacsWiki : Usergroups]] with new dates
+    - Download all the recording sessions for EmacsConf & ERG
+  - zaeph & sacha:
+    - Simplify the guide for usergroup-organizers-notebook
+    - TODO #A: Download all the recording sessions for EmacsConf & ERG
+  - All:
+    - Find more potential guests for the podcast
+    - FSF people? Zoe? Greg? rwp?
+  - mplsCorwin:
+    - News from Nate Sales (vela)?  (Maybe in two weeks, [2021-03-27 Sat] or [2021-04-03 Sat])
