+
+- Tentative agenda
+  - Diversity outreach
+    - We might want to get the conversation properly started wrt the CFP that we’d like to publish earlier this year (late-July)
+  - How to get all the people in EmacsConf along for important discussions (e.g. diversity)?
+  - Coming up with an agenda for the next EmacsConf
 
 * April 10, 2021 meeting
 - Next actions (from last session):
   - bandali:
     - Check how much server space we have with FH (200 GB?)
+      - We now have two servers on FH
+        Specs:
+        #+begin_quote
+        bbb:
+        - 6 cpu cores
+        - 200gb disk (20 used, 167 free)
+        - 4gb ram (3.56gb of 3.91 used / >90%)
+          - TODO We might want to request a RAM increase to 6GB or 8GB?
+            - bandali is taking care of that
+        - request upgrade to 8gb
+        - ubuntu 16.04
+        - ssh bbb@bbb.emacsverse.org
+          
+        vm01:
+        - 6 cpu cores
+        - 300gb disk
+        - 2gb ram
+        - request upgrade to 4gb?
+        - booted in an arch live usb
+          - We might want to install the system properly?
+        #+end_quote
     - Request more RAM for the server (4 GB only right now?)
     - Get access to FH’s server to zaeph and sacha (optional, sachac: probably not needed now)
+      - Now live!
     - Figure out how to change the domain name with the FH BBB instance
+      - Done!
     - 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
-    - Redirect emacsbbb.fosshost.org to bbb.
   - zaeph:
     - Update [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups][EmacsWiki : Usergroups]] with new dates
+      - Don’t need to; it’s been automatised by sachac
     - Download all the recording sessions for EmacsConf & ERG
     - Work on the crowdfunding based on the recommendations provided by the team
 
+- Check-in
+  - bandali
+    - Doing good, and even managed to take a couple of days off work
+  - zaeph
+    - Good; took a break as well
+  - sachac
+    - *thumbs up* (but childcare doesn’t have holidays)
+
+- FH servers
+  - On which server should we do the reencoding?
+    - Since bbb is used infrequently, we can just use this one for now and pause/cpulimit when needed
+
+- crdt.el problems with disconnections
+  - zaeph:
+    - Making disconnects more visible
+      - sachac/bandali: Changing the bg color?
+
+- Debrief after tarsius came along to the previous meeting
+  - zaeph: tarsius is a lot more fun that I thought he would be!
+  - bandali: A lot of us have only interacted by emails; it’s so different to meet them in person (or virtually
+  - sachac: Definitely something good to see wrt to bandali & gopar’s podcast!
+
+- Reviewing the ongoing projects
+  #+begin_src org
+- Tech
+  - Figuring out a better streaming workflow (speakers & OBS)
+    # Since mplsCorwin is the most knowledgeable on this topic, we’d better wait for him to be around; but the project is still very much actual
+  - Review whether we need FH’s BBB instance: mplsCorwin & bandali
+    # zaeph: Since we’ve started migrating all our meetups/workshops over the FH’s instance, it’s fair to say that this is no longer an ongoing project
+  - CDN with Nate Sales: mplsCorwin, bandali
+    # On stand-by until late-April
+  - Documenting our infrastructure
+    # bandali: Not urgent by any means, but still something that he’d like to get to, especially to address the bus factor
+    - Creating a list of server with the requirements: bandali, zaeph
+      # Removed because we’ve already taken care of 90% of the work on this one; and added a TODO for bandali

+  # bandali: Not strictly necessary to do it regularly; but if anything important needs to be discussed, we might want to find a better way to rally everyone: emails?
+  - Write-up for streaming with FLOSS
+- Mediation project between MELPA and org-mode’s core: zaeph
+  # Promoted to its own category (just like bandali & gopar’s project)
