+- bandali: On our infrastructure
+ - Notes were taken in our private repo

+ - If we get more money, we might want to move stuff over to other servers because we’re making heavy usage of front0
+ - Mail servers
+ - bandali updated the exim version with security fixes
+ - live0
+ - Used as the primary icecast stream server
+ - We’re running out of space
+ - bandali might be fetching some of the videos and move them locally or to another server (e.g. FH’s) to make some room
+ - ‘It makes sense to remove the previous one
+ - bbb
+ - As bandali was ssh’ing into the bbb servers, there were lots of update available
+ - bandali is going to update the server now, and set up a routine for security updates
+ - On publishing our infra
+ - Maybe we could make some of the info on our infra public (like the capabilities of the servers, or where we are hosting what)

+- zaeph gushed about the lispy stuff that he had been writing this week
+
+- Podcast: Do we need to chat about it today?
+ - It might be interesting to discuss when to announce the podcast
+ - We’re waiting on the greenlight from gopar since some stuff remains to be done
+ - bandali: The website also needs to be set up
+
+- On the BBB server, the well-named ‘bbb’
+ - We did get our update from 4GB to 8GB (yay!)
+ - Someone from FH (not mplsCorwin) did it, although it was also nudged by mplsCorwin; in short, thanks everyone!
+
+- On Emacs NYC
+ - sachac attended
+ - They’re interested in testing our BBB platform
+ - zaeph will take care of this (alongside ATX and M-x Research)
+ - They’re also interested in special interest groups, particularly:
+ - Org+gtd
+ - Beginner-oriented UG
+ - bandali also mentioned emsig for Emacs multimedia stuff
+ - We might want to focus on this interest-based UG in the summer, especially as geo-based UG revert to in-person meetings
+ - Another path of work could be to figure out how to stream the in-person meetings
+ - bandali: ‘Maybe we could think of online-events as EmacsConf events with themes, like gaming, GTD, music, multimedia’
+ - This could be a discussion to have during the public meeting we’ll be having soon
+
+- EmacsConf Public-Planning meeting (formerly known as the ‘Emacs Improvement Meeting’)
+ - zaeph is going on holiday for most of June, and it might be hard to squeeze it in early-June or in the 2nd half of April
+ - As a result, let’s aim to have it in the first week of July; but we need to bear in mind that a lot of people might be on holiday)
+ - That would also entail having 6 different actions to do in July:
+ - Have the improvement meeting
+ - Make adjustments according to the meeting
+ - Have a 2nd meeting where we share our adjustments
+ - Make a 2nd round of adjustments
+ - Prepare for the CFP
+ - Announce the CFP (by July 19)
+ - We should probably start this discussion asynchronously on our mailing lists so that people may prepare for the meetings
+ - It would show that we care about people preparing for this meeting
+ - Tentative calendar:
+ | Send email announcing the public event | [2021-06-05 Sat] |
+ | Public event | [2021-07-03 Sat] |
+ | Potential 2nd public event | [2021-07-10 Sat] |
+ | CFP + Announcement for office hours | [2021-07-19 Mon] |
+ - Observations:
+ - We announce the event a month ahead
+ - We have a week after the first public event to implement changes
+ - The 2nd public event will only be warranted if we need to make fundamental changes to our approach
+ - We have a week after the 2nd public event and before the CFP to make final adjustments
