+* April 17, 2021 meeting
+
+- 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
+

+ - 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)
