NOTE: Minutes posted on the Wiki are always unofficial. Schedules for upcoming presentations are always tentative. (Some more tentative than others!)

• No physical meeting until further notice
  • When we again have physical meetings, we would like to continue video meetings in conjunction with physical meetings.

SUMMARY: This is where we consider any additions, deletions, sequence, or other changes to sequence of items in the prepared agenda.

  * HISTORY: 
  * We consider changes prior to all reviews, planning and OLD BUSINESS items
    * by jumping ahead, then back, without altering agenda layout.
  * Do not altering agenda layout, during current meeting.
  * We will jump to *Old Business* items then back to usual sequence.
  * We will jump to *New Business* section, create new item, consider, then jump
    * back to usual sequence.
  * By not altering agenda layout, it is easier to build next month's agenda.
  * Moving a previous item out of sequence made editing difficult.

• AGENDA CHANGE:
• Are there any additions, deletions, sequence, or other changes to sequence of items in the prepared agenda?
• 2022-09-07 Comments:

SUMMARY: We maintain a calendar of technical events in the Greater St. Louis area and surrounding regions.

  * HISTORY: 
  * Not all events are official/sponsored SLUUG events. All sponsored events are shown in red.
  * Items have been added and corrected by Stan R, Gary Meyer and Don Ellis.
  * Items listed on this calendar were used to feed the ANNOUNCE weekly mailing.
  * Events on HIATUS are NOT counted! Historical items are NOT counted!  
  * Only face-to-face meetings were counted!

• SLUUG Calendar is a Google Calendar available on our web site.
• Count of number of events listed, each month, as of end of August 2022:

  * LEGEND:
  * Greyed out areas indicate corrections or never previously reported counts.
  * xxx - numbers not recorded.
  * ??? - Future Numbers.
  * Stopped counting general Saint Louis County Library events in May 2016.
  * Re-counted April 2016 without library events.
  * Count of calendar entries for May is down from previous months. No explanation is given.
  * Count of calendar entries for March 2020 misleading because of 
  * Limited maintenance effort for March 2020 because CORONAVIRUS-19 self-isolation effects.
  * Started counting **moved** and **delayed** items in April 2020 as considered being useful.
  * Improvements in Google Calendar feature limits to five days processing at at time, takes
    * about 10 times as long to perform counting. Much more tedious.
  * Five day limitation "improvement" gone, no longer takes so much longer to count.

• 2022-01-31 Comments:
  • Of the 210 total, 5 were cancelled (x~), 0 defunct, 6 delayed, and 4 moved, and 0 postponed; so, leaving 195 active.
• 2022-02-28 Comments:
  • Of the 219 total, 6 were cancelled, 34 (x~), 0 defunct, 10 delayed, and 3 moved, and 1 postponed; so, leaving 165 active.
• 2022-04-04 Comments:
  • The February Calendar counts were not entered during the last meeting.
  • Of the 244 total, 1 were cancelled, 37 (x~), 0 defunct, 7 delayed, 1 missed, and 4 moved, and 1 postponed; so, leaving 193 active.
• 2022-05-02 Comments:
  • Of the 219 total, 2 were cancelled, 44 (x~), 0 defunct, 5 delayed, 1 missed, and 5 moved, and 1 postponed; so, leaving 161 active.
  • QUESTION: Why was March 2022 count so much larger, while April dropped?
  • QUESTION: Should we replace the monthly total counts (January 2022 to date) entries with the active counts?
    • The total counts indicate how many entries we made, showing our work effort, and potential meetings; but, not actual meetings held.
    • Would be a lot of work (if even possible) to go back to change 2020 counts.
    • The active counts would be more realistic indication of how many actual meetings were held.
  • Suggest doing at, say, 1 July or 1 January.
• 2022-05-31 Comments:

SUMMARY: Mailing List Report combined with MEETUP membership count, now called Subscriber Report.

• Subscriber numbers (approximate) as of end of August 2022:

  * LEGEND:
  * Numbers as of end of each month.
  * Blocking of mailing list attachments not completely configured yet.
  * This will be much easier to do on BOCK.
  * ANNOUNCE mailing list.
    * Still no volunteer editor to do a quarterly or monthly newsletter.
  * Command used to generate these (as root on Bud):
    * /usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members **list_name** | wc -l (This doesn't seem to work on Bock.)
  * Greyed out areas indicate corrections or never previously reported counts.
  * xxx - numbers not recorded.
  * ??? - Future Numbers.

• ISSUES:
• We do NOT have any account access or control to our presence and videos on Google+ or YouTube.
• We do NOT know how or what to count in Google+ NOR do we know how to metric videos.
• We do NOT know how or what to count in YouTube NOR do we know how to metric videos.
• No way to change meeting dates or set temporary hiatus in Google+
• Don will investigate Google+ status
• Don will place credentials for YouTube and any others on Bock /home/sluug

• 2022-04-04 Comments: Very little change from last month. Amazing how many are in MEETUP and we only see a few.
• 2022-05-02 Comments:
  • Neither SLUUG nor variations of St. Louis Unix show any channels in search, .. "sluug" is someone playing slither.io.

SUMMARY: Previously named Hazelwood LUG (HZWLUG), then Newcomer LUG (NEWLUG). Now, Newcomer Linux User Group is designated as NEWLINUX. The NEWLINUX home page lists a number of topics to provide general directions from which we could start. Topics are usually determined by attendees. We usually cover way more than one topic.

• NEWLUG was how we named our Linux Users Group (LUG) for Linux Newcomers.
  • NEWLINUX is name that we can frequently use for our Newcomer Linux Users Group.
• 2022-08-01 Comments:
  • Future use of library rooms will be reviewed monthly.
• 2022-09-07 Comments:

  • 

SUMMARY: This is where we discuss available and confirmed meeting topics. GOAL: To map out meeting topics for as much as 3 months out.

• No physical face-to-face meetings until further notice.
• When we again have physical meetings, we would like to continue video meetings in conjunction with any physical meetings.
• We try to track prospects to give presentations at our SLUUG General (SLUUG) meeting and LINUX (STLLINUX) meetings.
• We try to segregate topic types as either BASE, MAIN or LINUX, with BASE and MAIN given at the General meeting (SLUUG) .
• * *BASE* topics should be oriented toward simpler Personal Computing. Usually given as General meeting (SLUUG). Short is good.
  • *BASE* Something fundamental, introductory, instructive or simple.
• * *MAIN* topics should be oriented more toward advanced or Professional Computing. Usually given at General meeting (SLUUG).
  • *MAIN* Something more advanced, detailed, important, profound, new, significant, timely or useful.
• * *LINUX* topics often could be either at the General meeting or at the St. Louis Linux Users Group (STLLINUX) meetings.
• We want to have alternative (secondary) topic on hand if primary speaker doesn't show.
• Gary will continue to explore different computer manufacturers (ex: Cray) who might be able to do presentation "Where are they now?"

SUMMARY: Combine recording physical plus remote meetings

  * HISTORY: 
      * We have for the longest time been saying: 
      * **No physical face-to-face meetings until further notice.**
      * When we again have physical meetings, we would like to continue video meetings in conjunction with any physical meetings.
      * So, in anticipation of future openings of libraries and restaurants,
        * reduction of lock-down, we need to work toward perfecting the technology.

  • Project considerations
    • Locations
    • Schedule ~ Timeline
  • Assets
    • Staffing
      • Project Leader ~ Lee Lammert (at least Point Of Contact)
      • Project Wrangler ~ Steve Stegmann (if he will remember)
      • Recording Hardware ~ Lee Lammert
      • Recording Software ~ Tyler Rudie (had been experimenting with OBS during July STLLINUX meeting)
      • Remote Virtual Software ~ ZOOM or Jitsi (maybe better) ?
      • Head Count (local clipboard and remote software participant panel to capture attendance).
      • Production Chief(s) ~
        • does recording and archives.
        • one for remote and one for live location
      • Minions
    • Equipment ~ inventory ~ splitter ~ projectors ~ microphones ~ cameras ~ smartphone cameras ~ portability
      • avoid condenser microphones ~ want dynamic microphones (which may be more expensive)
    • Servers ~ ZOOM ~ Jitsi
    • Software ~ OBS ~ Discord? ~
      • Capabilities ~ Remote Video ~ Chat ~ Recording ~ Screen Sharing ~ YouTube Streaming?
      • Documentation ~ Diagrams ~ Limitations
      • Testing ~ Bat Cave? ~ Restaurant?
  • Discussion:
    • Gary M virtual remote experience at 2600 club was not good. They did not have splitter for hybrid session.
    • Lee figures harder, quite difficult, do we want to really do it. How do we do recordings?
    • Stan R says local noise too much at restaurants.
    • Head counts need to be considered. Gary once shared ZOOM participant panel. We need to promote sharing participant panel(s) for count heads.
    • Stan R has less problem using Jitsi.
    • Stan R thought Jitsi does not have built in recording (may not be true).
    • Stan R uses Linux SimpleScreenRecorder (SSR) to record all remote sessions. Specifically activates participant panel while recording sessions with SSR.
    • We must consider when will libraries open up. Also, Siemens, Nick and Elena's restaurant.
    • Gary suggests we move this topic earlier in agenda. We don't expect to make much progress right away; but, need to keep in mind.

General Meeting BASE portions go too long. Volunteers tend to do topics beyond introductory level. Scaling back subjects and length of coverage might be a good thing.

Stan R posted to SteerCom mailing list for prior discussion.

Stan R suggests that we start pulling simple ideas from our Planning Schedule Report and by using a facilitator (or two) encourage and guide participation covering that single topic. Simply starting out by presenting a relevant man page might work to get folks to join in. Keeping it short and simple (KISS).
