[Online event described will be at 9am Sunday AEST, Melbourne time.]
The first virtual meeting of CABAL, the LUG that normally meets in West
Menlo Park, California (which as a reminder is one of the relatively
sane parts of the USA).
Thanks again to Trent W. Buck for the cool timezone-dumping trick, which
he'll note I swiped.
There will be no special topic, though I might give a briefing about my
experience installing in a tearing hurry and administering Jitsi Meet on
Amazon EC2 to provide one of major functions of the recent World Science
Fiction Convention ('Worldcon') in Wellington, New Zealand, when it was
obliged to operate as the first-ever virtual Worldcon.

Organization: If you lived here, you'd be $HOME already.
Hi ho! Seeing that the world is falling apart, the sky is the
colour of a dead television channel, and the air is barely breathable,
let's get together on Jitsi Meet!
CABAL Virual Edition: Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020, 4pm - 8pm Pacific
Daylight Time.[1]
Where? Here, via videoconferencing: http://meet.jit.si/cabal
You will need:
o Computer w/supported Web browser. Best results reported with:
o Chromium
o Chrome
o Microsoft Edge v. 79.0.309 or later
o (some others, e.g., Firefox, might work but are not guaranteed)
o A computer with mic and speakers/headphones. Headphones/earbuds
are recommended (because they avert audio feedback loops).
Upon joining @ that URL, your browser will probably ask if the page
may have permission to connect to your microphone and speaker. Say yes.
If you haven't done computer videoconferencing before:
o You can check your setup for problems at https://test.webrtc.org/ .
(Don't worry about minor bobbles like 'Reflexive connectivity'
getting dinged.)
o You might want to show up 15 minutes early, to thrash out problems.
(Problems are common during first-time videoconferencing.)
I will have fresh garlic bread and other home cooking. You probably won't,
unless you're in my household, but, hey, that's the year 2020 for you.
I expect we'll continue with 2nd Saturday 4-8 pm online CABAL meetings
for the duration of the Martian Death Flu.
When will reality get restored? Haha. "Der mentsh trakht un got lakht."
I will promise with extreme insincerity to give a prize to the farthest
flung videoconfercing participant. Astronauts calling from the ISS
will automatically win.
[1] If not in the Pacific Daylight Time time zone, check using
https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ Or try something lik this Bourne shell
recipe (tested on Debian):
:r! grep worldclock .bashrc
alias worldclock='zdump
America/{Los_Angeles,Mexico_City,New_York,Sao_Paulo}
Europe/{London,Berlin,Moscow} Asia/Calcutta PRC Japan
Australia/{Perth,Melbourne}'

Cheers, "My hot flight attendant asked how I like my coffee.
Rick Moen And that's when she told me: 'That's cute, honey, but
[email protected] the coffee's free. You don't have to pay for it, here."
