     - met with organizers of EmacsNYC. They were curious about BBB and Jitsi, streaming, IRC web client
     - met with gopar last night re: podcast
+    - will work on a blog post about the technical setup
+    - someone wanted to set up a meetup in Mexico, too, so maybe we can make an updated starting-a-meetup guide (https://harryrschwartz.com/2015/09/14/starting-an-emacs-meetup.html)

   - CRDT: see BBB chat if you want to try it
   - dto:
     - tutorial; (also, SystemCrafters just livestreamed an Emacs Lisp tutorial too)

     - 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
