# 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
        <https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Usergroups> 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?
            - <https://emacsconf.org/2020/meetings/>
        -   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?
-   Next week:
    -   Leo will write a summary of what we've been doing and put
        it in the pad, for e-mailing out
    -   Week after: public meeting/recording
