* His question is "Should they just state NO PHYSICAL MEETINGS
.
* Or is there a plan for future real face-to-face meetings, and thus the hope for a "further notice"?
* Per Stan R there are no plans for future face-to-face SLACC and NEWLINUX meetings.
* Per Lee Nic-N-Elana's restaurant going strong ( old site ).

===== Hybrid Meetings =====
SUMMARY: Combine recording physical plus remote meetings
<code>
* 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.
</code>
* 2021-07-05
* 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.

* 2023-01-09 Comments:

===== Change BASE and MAIN Structure =====
SUMMARY: Effort to align length of BASE to be shorter than MAIN presenttions.
<code>
* HISTORY:
* 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).
</code>
*
* 2022-09-07 Comments:
* Stan R volunteers for first trial run next week.

* https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/4409683389709-Enabling-or-disabling-closed-captioning-and-live-transcription-services
* Gary found under the App Button (or More Button) there is reference to Wordly transcription service.
* Colibri ~ makes transcripts and meeting notes (license requirements preclude our use).
* Gary will post and summarize on Steve's DISCUSS posting.
* 2022-10-03 Comments:
* Changed 12 September SLUUG General Meeting. Instead of a BASE and a MAIN, had 3 short Rolling Thunder Talks.
* ZOOM somehow gave us an extra file that was closed captions.
* We should be much more flexible in structure and not restrict to BASE and MAIN, allowing for multiple short topics.
* 2022-11-02 Comments: We agree, worth doing again. Might even be routine, like February instead of Lightning Talks.
* 2022-12-05 Comments: Still a very good option to have multiple short presentations.
* 2023-01-09 Comments: None
