Above is the URL for the LUV Jitsi instance. I'll name the room "a". Keep
things short so you can type it quickly if you get disconnected.
6PM tomorrow we will start.
You will notice that the server is based in Melbourne and has no IPv6
addresses, currently the only IPv6 address space I have access to is tunneled
from Germany which isn't good for latency.

Hello All,
I heard a BBC documentary on ABC Radio National, in the World Docos
segment. I want the audio to pass on to others, and I would strongly
recommend it to all here. I can get it to play, but not to save, yet.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000jtmv
There are five episodes, and the last is the kicker.
I do have youtube-dl installed,and command runner firefox extension,
but not yet sure how to go about. I would also appreciate examples to
be able to use them to download from ABC iView, I want "saving Planet
A".
Regards,
Mark Trickett

Checking my rushed notes for server setup of jitsi.conzealand.nz :
80/tcp for Web UI HTTP to redirect
443/tcp for Web UI HTTPS
4443/tcp for RTP media over TCP (transport for WebRTC A/V)
10000/udp for RTP media over UDP
optional: 20000-20050/udp for jigasi (SIP access)
(That's for a fairly generic setup, which ended up not including SIP.)
ISTR that the two you say fail don't necesarily matter much.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll look into it. I have monitoring for the
basic connectivity but good or bad Drupal content looks the same to my
monitoring system.

Yes.
Thanks Rick for pointing out other video meetups. Rick if there's any
interesting Linux video meetup you plan to join please send the link to luv-
main.
2020 is a dumpster fire. I'm more depressed than usual and finding it
difficult to arrange things. I've setup a LUV Jitsi VM with low ping times in
Melbourne (less than 5ms ping time to www.theage.com.au), we just need to
arrange some stuff.
I think we need to get some more committee members who are in a good mental
state to do stuff.

You had me at "stupid tricks with a Raspberry Pi and party poppers" :) :)

Subject: [luv-talk] LUV status (& online meeting possibilities)

It kind of is (to my knowledge). As you perhaps observed, it's
reasonably active, with over a dozen postings over the course of July.
I'm going to return to your point via a seeming digression, so please
bear with me:
Point 1. My friend Michael Paoli has been doing fine work collecting a
list on Bay Area Linux User Group's (San Francisco) wiki of all known
recurring virtual LUG meetings, during the pandemic era. It's here:
https://www.wiki.balug.org/wiki/doku.php?id=balug:covid-19
You will note there's nothing (yet) from Oz: not Vic, not NSW, nothing.
This is perhaps accurate, perhaps not. Truth to tell, I was just now
double-checking all of LUV's public mailing lists and Web site to see if
there were mention of a LUV online meeting. (There is not - yet.)
As I find time, I intend to check other Australian Linux sites to see if
any ought to be added to the page. Please, if you (plural) have a
chance, kindly do likewise.
That was the _initial_ point I wanted to make.
Point 2: Hmm, one silver lining of the slow trend of rolling out online
meetings (on Zoom, Jitsi Meet, or others) is that suddenly physicality
is less important. I have lately been attending a number of
organisations' Zoom or Jitsi meetings that are thousands of kilometres
away from me. (Yr. humble servant is 60 km south of San Francisco,
and his time zone during this season is UTC-7: Locals call it PDT =
Pacific Daylight Time.)
Recently, for five days at the end of July, I helped run the annual
World Science Fiction Convention ('Worldcon'), a volunteer-owned/run
literary and fandom event, held this year in Wellington, Enn-Zed. But,
of course, 2020 being the dumpster fire that it is, few of the ~2000
attendees could be in Wellington, so this was the first-ever virtual
Worldcon, held using a mix of Zoom, Discord, WordPress, Jitsi Meet, and
some other technologies. (I did the buildout & administration of
Jitsi Meet for the Worldcon.)
Starting during staff planning and running through the event, I kept a
browser tab open to https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ , to keep an eye on
the two timezones: I came to think of NZ, being on NZST = UTC+12, as
five hours behind me plus a day ahead. (It seemed humourously fitting
for the Worldcon to be held in the future. ;-> ) LUV / Melbourne /
Vic, being on AEST = UTC+10 during these winter months, I would
naturally think of as seven hours behind me plus a day ahead. As a
mnemonic, you see. (I also switched to 24hr clock notation, as it makes
the maths easier.)
To sum: The jiggering of time differences is irksome but one quickly
finds heuristics & tools to cut the annoyance value, and reduce error.
The conclusion: How about other LUV people joining me in showing up at
select virtual LUG events with little regard to distance or national
borders? (I _am_ a longtime LUV person, even if I am Yet Another Bloody
Yank.)
Point 3: Also, please consider looking into occasional and perhaps
regular LUV meetings on Jitsi Meet (like: meet.jit.si/luv) or on Zoom.
Then, you (or I) can add them to Michael Paoli's list, and (for better
or worse) gain international attendees with peculiar accents.
I would be glad to give a virtual lecture on the construction, care, and
feeding of Jitsi Meet for LUV. (I could be LUV's first monthly speaker
to ever give a presentation to LUV's audience from 12,600 km away.)
(If Russell or another LUV officer considers this posting appropriate
for luv-main, great. I didn't want to presume.)
