I favor virtual meetings forever, at least every other month. I'm too lazy to
drive.

Would we like to have virtual Perl Mongers?
Our prior meeting schedule was 2nd Tuesday of the Month. This month that falls
the day after Labor Day monday. (And as always falls on MS Windows Patch Day,
if anyone observes.) Since we're mostly *not* going to the beach, is that a
better date than it usually would be?
Considerations
- In-person face-to-face will not be possible at MIT for the foreseeable
future (through end of calendar year at a minimum) and alternate venues
seem problematic likewise unless we dope up with bug spray and sit outdoors
in a circle (polygon) with 6' shortest chords, which makes projecting demos
hard.
- BLU.org has been using *JITSI*, a FLOSS alternative to Zoom that is a
spinoff of Atlassian, upon which the 8x8 commercial freemium stack is
built; it works well for small groups (doesn't scale as well in
all-cameras-all-the-time Brady-Bunch/Hollywood Squares mode - if it hurts
when you do that, don't do that!). I would intend to use that. (Browser
Plug-in or iOS/Android app is useful but not required.)
- Does anyone have a topic or everyone have a mini-topic to present?
(Since I'm preparing the September BLU talk, i won't have anything but
scraps myself.
I do have an interesting result with Raku recently but that won't take
much time.)
- Since i'm presenting to BLU on 3d Wednesday (topic might or might not
be early feedback shift register all-electronic crypto hardware), i'm not
willing to push Boston.pm to 3d Tuesday (as I often would for a Monday
holiday otherwise).
