* January 2, 2020 meeting
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CUSTOM_ID: january-2-2020-meeting
  :END:

- 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/]] 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
