# January 7, 2020 meeting
+- Checking in:
+ - bandali, zaeph, gopar, sachac, dto
+ - bandali: fairly uneventful, things are going okay, learning more about Jami, experimenting with DSLR for webcam but aspect ratio is a little weird
+ - sachac: virtual school started again; EmacsNYC meetup; emacs calendar in HTML and Org
+ - dto: having fun with neural networks
+ - zaeph: at his parents, can't do much work, enjoying the lull; figuring out collaborative slipboxing with org-roam; getting more into writing
+ - gopar
- Agenda:
+ - Update: emacslife.com/calendar
+ - Update: attended NYC meetup
+ - methodology
+ - bandali
+ - met with organizers of EmacsNYC. They were curious about BBB and Jitsi, streaming, IRC web client
+ - met with gopar last night re: podcast
+ - CRDT: see BBB chat if you want to try it
+ - dto:
+ - tutorial; (also, SystemCrafters just livestreamed an Emacs Lisp tutorial too)
+ - Hmm, it's like having lab hours
+ - Could be open (office hours, bring your questions; maybe a liiittle structure) or guided (here's an exercise to start with)
+ - podcast
+ - Upcoming workshops
+ - 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)
+ - gopar: upcoming podcast recording re: EmacsConf experience

+ - 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)
+ - how to find people and advertise
+ - reddit.com/r/emacs
+ - Emacs News
+ - https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups
+ - how to stream and record
+ - what it might be like if there are no presentations (don't worry! hang out, share cool stuff, figure things out together, flip through Emacs News)

+ - dto will figure it out and write things up =)
+ - 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

+ - bhavin192: Mailing list for meetups (some common prefix or something similar).
+ - *let's remember to discuss this and the next point* =)
+ - bhavin192: Update to Code of Conduct (I was hoping to use the same text or page for Emacs APAC meetup)
+ - 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
