+    - Check how much server space we have with FH (200 GB?)
+    - 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)
+    - 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
+    - Redirect emacsbbb.fosshost.org to bbb.
+  - zaeph:

     - TODO #A: Download all the recording sessions for EmacsConf & ERG
   - All:
     - Find more potential guests for the podcast
+      - Adam?
     - FSF people? Zoe? Greg? rwp?
   - mplsCorwin:
     - News from Nate Sales (vela)?  (Maybe in two weeks, [2021-03-27 Sat] or [2021-04-03 Sat])
       - Late April is probably likely

-- Tentative agenda
+- Check-in
+  - bandali
+    - Busy week; wrapping up packaging tasks
+    - Feeling better, generally.
+    - Bummed by the situation with the FSF.
+  - sachac
+    - *thumbs up*
+  - zaeph
+    - Enjoyed some overdue holiday time.
+  - tarsius
+    - For his work, there are two meetings per week
+    - On meetings
+      - ‘I find one meeting per week is enough’
+  - mplsCorwin
+    - Out for the week
+
+- FSF checkpoint (esp. considering what we discussed last week)
+  - We’re still on hold for retrieving the old recordings from the instance
+    - We might want to wait a couple of weeks for this to be operational
+
+- Actions from last week
+  - organizer-notebook
+    - sachac and zaeph have decided to let the Emacs-SF organise themselves with regards to publishing
+  - Nate
+    - Probably late this month, or early next month
+
+- EmacsSF debrief
+  - Plenty of interesting talks
+  - Mike & Jeff took over for processing the recordings
+
+- Podcast
+  - bandali pitched the podcast to tarsius
+  - No updates with regards to the episodes themselves
+  - Update on the intro music: it’s been found!
+
+- Package-maintainer usergroups/workshops
+  - sachac: There seems to be some desire for more advanced Elisp talk
+  - zaeph: Intuitively, there seems to be a *lot* of interest for this
+
+- On the benefits of in-person meetings
+  - tarsius is really excited about in-person meetings
+    - He especially liked that he was travelling for those meetups
+  - Right now, we’re benefiting from a lot of in-person meetings having switched to virtual due to the crisis
+    - We’re using them as experimental grounds
+    - Should virtual meetings in the future be like the geographically based meetups, or be more specific?
+    - tarsius thinks there’s value to both kind of meetups; he enjoys the social aspect, the unexpected topics, but also sometimes the in-depth stuff
+
+- Crowdfunding for zaeph
+  - sachac
+    - Adding a reward tier on GH Sponsor for coaching
+    - ‘It tends to be good to focus your deliverables on the things that are mostly in your control, at least for the first try :)’
+  - tarsius
+    - ‘Regardless of leading with MELPA/core mediation, it’s important to have a few people who help with that process’
+      - We need to tackle the negativity which comes with core devs
+      - It might help to have me who’d neither be the package maintainer nor the user
+    - ‘Adding stuff to Emacs is all good, but not everything has to be added into Emacs’
+      - ‘A lot of things that would be valuable is removing things from Emacs’
+        - ‘Things have been improving though’ wrt the core of Emacs and the policy of merging stuff
+      - ‘I don’t think we should have 4-5 email clients if we install Emacs; it’d be nice if we just isntalled the one that we want to use’
+        - Definitely a nudge for a wizard installer for Emacs where you’d choose which one to use?
+  - bandali
+    - If zaeph needs help with the Emacs/GNU side of things, i.e. with the CLA, bandali would be happy to help
+
+- Chat with tarsius
+  - Merging magit & transient into Emacs
+    - tarsius is not against merging magit into emacs, but isn’t particularly excited about it either
+    - With the non-GNU ELPA, it might no longer be necessary
+    - However, merging transient seems to be a much better idea
+    - tarsius is quite busy right now, though, so this will have to wait
+      - ‘It doesn’t seem like that much work, though’
+      - Some painpoints, like the manual: what is it going to become?
+  - Getting tarsius on board with some EmacsVerse/EmacsConf stuff
+    - For now, tarsius just wants to show up until he can justify the time investment
+    - Funding for EmacsConf and/or ERG
+      - tarsius: fundraiser as a group
+      - zaeph: tarsius has been doing his fundraiser by himself, but we should do a fundraiser as a group to garner more attention and also channel some ‘Assemble!’ moment
+
