- | So rather than spend time writing things out at the AGM, we have the same people willing to be in the board. If someone else wants to be on the board, feel free to self-nominate prior to the AGM, or at the beginning of the AGM. There will be an opportunity to do so. | + | |

- | A single item for voting on at the AGM: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * Reduce the size of the quorum for an election. Given how much begging we have had to do in the past to get the 25 names, I want to reduce it to 10. If we can't get 10 people to attend the next AGM in person, then we have little reason to continue as a registered non-profit corp. That is a potential discussion item for the future. We consistently get 10+ people at physical meetings but not always 15. That makes 10 a reasonable number to manage. | + | |

- | Your output video and audio will be disabled when you join. In order to make sure the experience is a reasonable one for all involved, the presenter will share their screen/window/whatever they are comfortable with and you will see it quite clearly if the test we did are any indicator. Since we do not know how many will be viewing, it will be a little hard to manage questions, so if you have them, feel free to ask them in the chat window. Since the person | + | - Online over Jitsi https://meet.jit.si/ |

- | This should keep it manageable. After the representation is finished, I'll stop muting all but the presenter. We can even try enabling video to see how good/bad it is. There will only be the one talk this month, as we don't know how well it will go. | + | ==== Program: ==== |
- | This format is subject to evolution, as I expect that video conference software will undergo some rapid improvement over the next few months given the demand currently out there. Not that I'm recommending them, but I saw a note that Zoom is currently processing just shy of 280PiB of data/month. I have no idea what services like Netflix and Disney+ are processing, but the demands have gone up considerably. | + | __Topics__ |
