Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 14:06:41 <openstack> Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #startvote. 14:06:43 <openstack> The meeting name has been set to 'ops_meetup_team' 14:06:57 <mihalis68_> I haven't updated the etherpad with an agenda for obvious reasons 14:07:09 <mihalis68_> however, we are getting some questions about a) PTG and b) virtual meetups for operators 14:07:17 <emccormick> I will fire up a meeting. Hang on 14:07:40 <mihalis68_> https://twitter.com/rossmartyn04/status/1246001652018089984?s=20 14:08:15 <mihalis68_> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/raE68K2y/ 14:09:40 <emccormick> https://meet.cirrusseven.com/opsmeetup 14:10:05 <mihalis68_> what I thought we could do is try out this open source video conferencing thing (jitsi) to see if it would work for furutre virtual events 14:10:13 <mihalis68_> I'll join erik, one second 14:11:32 <smcginnis> Not hearing anything on there. 14:12:19 <emccormick> Try chrome Aean 14:12:25 <emccormick> Sean 14:12:42 <emccormick> @smcginnis: 14:13:01 <smcginnis> I could hear the join/leave sounds, but no talking. 14:33:52 <VW_> hey @mihalis68_ - sorry -j just saw this 14:36:29 <mihalis68_> no worries 14:36:35 <mihalis68_> I'll be back here in a minute 14:39:31 <mihalis68_> we just tried Erik's Jitsi instance for an ad-hoc meeting 14:39:35 <mihalis68_> it worked well 14:39:50 <mihalis68_> this is an open source video conferencing solution 14:41:27 <mihalis68_> it seems that we could set up a virtual ops meetup using this as a way to bring back events during the global pandemic 14:41:41 <mihalis68_> personally I've resisted using Zoom for various well publicized reasons 14:47:55 <mihalis68_> some conclusions from the video meeting just now : 14:48:14 <mihalis68_> jitsi looks like a possibility for ops meetups to happen virtually but still leveraging open source 14:48:40 <mihalis68_> we'll ask for a ptg slot. Apparently the open infra team are setting up a jitsi instance 14:48:59 <mihalis68_> it may be possible to link jitsi meetings to the openstack etherpad server 14:49:38 <mihalis68_> this might allow "presenters" to be in the video conference, and "viewers" to merely stream it (via youtube, twitch, vimeo, something like that). This would scale better than every person needing to be video conferenced 14:50:18 <spotz> Hey! Didn’t know we were meeting:( 14:50:33 <mihalis68_> we will pick up the discussion of possible virtual meets on the twitter account since that seems to have the best engagement 14:50:39 <mihalis68_> yeah I did ping just after 10am 14:50:43 <mihalis68_> you didn't miss much 14:50:51 <mihalis68_> there's nobody else here right now :P 14:51:27 <spotz> I’ll email the sign up sheet for PTG when I get home 14:51:53 <mihalis68_> for ops meetup? 14:52:03 <mihalis68_> oh email it to me? 14:52:21 <mihalis68_> thanks. Sean erik and I think a session in vancouver would be good 14:52:27 <spotz> I’ve just assumed we were on hiatus. To sign up for time slots 14:52:42 <mihalis68_> we have been on hiatus, but time to get back in action 14:52:50 <mihalis68_> we can do things during full lockdown, let's try! 14:53:33 <spotz> Well last emails we’ve had about the meeting were cancelling:) 15:01:07 <mihalis68_> yeah. I will try and make things clear with a refreshed calendar meeting for the meetup team plus some communication on twitter and the mailing list. Will be in touch soon 16:00:59 <mihalis68_> #endmeeting
