Planning a Debian/Linux m68k Meeting in 2020

Planning a Debian/Linux m68k Meeting in 2020

[Carsten Strotmann]

Hi,

after the nice meeting we had in 2018, I've started planning a 
meeting
for 2020 (I'm an optimist).

So far, there is no date or location, but I've updated the 
website:
<https://m68kmeeting.linuxkistchen.de/>

If the current COVID-19 situation will continue over the summer, 
the
event could be held in cyberspace as a virtual conference. Maybe 
it is
alwys a good idea to offer an virtual attendance option for people 
who
cannot travel.

I'm interested in feedback on possible locations, dates, virtual
conferences and such.

Stay save

Carsten

I would be interested to attend a meeting in Essen this year although
I don't expect the situation to have changed by that time, so I assume
an online meeting would probably a better idea.

I assume that Jitsi would be suitable for that case.

Please no zoom. It's been all over the news...

We use BigBlueButton for teaching now, I had a successful meeting with more
than 180 participants (no camera, no mike for the participants). A session
with 12 parallel video streams also worked fined. The server has a 1Gbit/s
connection, I have a simple DSL connection.

In case somebody has time to waste, you can help packaging it for Debian:

after collecting some feedback, we will now try to get a small 
online
workshop organized to discuss a possible 2020 m68k meeting 
(virtual or/and
in person).

Here is a poll for a date for the planning workshop (not for the 
m68k
meeting):

<https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/li1otkp9sBrzu9Xm>

The meeting time would be 20:00 CEST.

I operate a Jitsi Video-Conference-Server we could use for the 
meeting,
but I'm also open for other options.

Greetings

Carsten

Good idea. Added myself to the list.

I don't have any strong preference on this but I think Jitsi works very well.

the meeting will be this coming Friday 5th June 20:00 CEST on the Jitsi
Videoconferencing server:

<https://meet.forth-ev.de/m68k>

There is currently password protection enabled for this server, the
server will be open 30 minutes before the meeting starts.

Topics to discuss (non exhaustive):

 * virtual and/or in-person meeting options
 * location
 * date and time
 * scope (Topics for the meeting)
 * Agenda for meeting (Talks? Moderated Discussions? Training for new
project members ....)

If you have additions to the Agenda let me know.

See you there

Carsten

I would suggest adding the topic "Funding of new m68k software projects"
(for example, the development of an M68000 backend for LLVM) [1].
