3 officers came to the meeting. 2 showed interest but could not come due to academic reasons, which is now marked as attendance.

The meeting "started" at 7:30pm.

We did some configuration on the BungeeCord part of our Minecraft server and added the Advanced Portals plugin.

We picked a world for the lobby part of our Minecraft server.

We talked about replacing the aging/failing HP servers with a NAS server (probably for OwnCloud?) and using a SATA connector for the hard drives.

  • He plans to build a server himself with parts (kind of like building a custom PC) instead of getting one pre-built.
  • Nick got an 8TB HDD which used SATA instead of SAS.
  • He got an AMD server CPU (I forget the model) and plans to get a second CPU later. The motherboard has 2 SATA lanes (instead of 4 which is typical) but a lot of PCIe slots (which itself is typical).

We "ended" it at 10pm cause we were gettin tired.

Some stuff about Jitsi Meet:

  • The desktop app for Jitsi Meet is on GitHub (their website gave an IM messaging app which is confusing, we do not recommend using that)
  • The screen sharing component runs at about ~3fps which is doable for presentations but not optimal.
  • Some alternative solutions to fix this problem:
    • use a separate Jitsi Meet instance which has less traffic than the primary meet.jit.si instance
    • run our own Jitsi Meet servers, maybe off of someone's Raspberry Pi or actual server hardware if they are willing to volunteer
    • or use BigBlueButton which has a 60min meeting limit if we don't run it on our own servers
