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 - # January 2, 2020 meeting - Conversations - mplsCorwin: FOSSHost: okay to experiment with being a CDN, will experiment with videos - authenticated RTMP server to support streaming meetups from Jitsi? - PeerTube? - sachac: added more events to and the calendar - sachac: subed.el patches for splitting and merging subtitles, will continue editing subtitles - Podcast: - Thinking about name:  - Current: emacs.el podcast - Emacs Weekly? Probably okay, although includes commitment to actually make it weekly - Amin and Gopar's Wild World of Emacs? - ideas for making it visually interesting when there's no video - Suggested guest: Fermin - interesting story about how he got into Emacs and started making it better for PHP - Making these conversations more public: - Maybe start with just putting public meeting minutes somewhere, like the wiki, and then figure out if anyone actually wants to subscribe to it =) - E-mail summary to mailing list? - announced on IRC \#emacsconf - With long-form summary at some point? - dto volunteering to help Leo (it turns out dto was also an English major in his past life, and has done a fair bit of copyediting) - mplsCorwin can handle social media - bandali: avoid perfectionism - Lots of people have a hard time with this - getting things out of your head = good - don't let the great be the enemy of the good. Take advantage of the friendly community. - dto: story about local trails committee, which is kind of like this - Look, we can just post a rough outline, whee! =) - bullet-points are fine as a starting point - Segments of recording? Timer in the pad can help.  - Livestream with delay? - Something to grow into, maybe; let's start with text and possibly recording segments - Maybe private part and then public part, with time notes in case there are things we need to remove from the recording, keeping private segment as short as possible - Everyone's cool with this - Discussed: Separate days for private and public meeting? Might take too much time.  - Guidelines for private segments: document reasons if possible - Confidentiality - Buzz factor: vet ideas before unleashing them? preview? - Figuring out the persona/voice/feeling for EmacsConf, for the meeting - Hard to figure out how to communicate both excitement and reserve - Diversity and perspective: we're trying to figure out how this comes across from the outside, without our own knowledge - sachac: We could try to just dump the outline for starters, and can come up with quick automation for transforming the Etherpad =) - Is it because we're trying to figure out the official voice for EmacsConf? Is it easier to talk as individuals? - Sticker giveaway: mplsCorwin - Next week, 3PM UTC Saturday, Leo to send calendar invite and/or e-mail: - Leo will write a summary of what we've been doing and put it in the pad, for e-mailing out? - Braindumps welcome =) - Week after: public meeting/recording
