@worldofpeace great suggestion! If you don’t mind, would you please reopen? 
Looks like there’s a few of us from Japan and the East Coast.
Cheers,

There is a nix-community mumble server at mumble.nix-community.org.
It’s used on Thursday nights (CET/CEST) for a German-speaking virtual meetup, right now. Although mumble supports channels, so that doesn’t really matter.

OK Ladies and Gents,
How about this?
Needless to say it’s almost impossible to serve everyone on the planet at once due to time differences… Please let me know if you have other suggestions! (I think we should be as inclusive and participatory as possible - I wonder if we can also include Guix.)
Multiple Languages can be accommodated using the “Breakout” feature of the video conference software.

Were you planning to record this?
Hi, no, I don’t plan to record this. Did you want it to be recorded?
No, that is fine. I just noticed there was a previous recording so wanted some clarification.
I’d like to join, but BigBlueButton is asking for an “access code,” what is that?
Thanks, I didn’t see that. Looks like I can join!
Meeting notes… (sorry I missed the last 30 minutes… forgot to save!!)

[21:35] Armando Santos : I’ll have to go for a moment to lunch! brb
[21:40] stphn : nix-env --set

[22:00] stphn : I’ve been told nix flakes are still in beta phase
[22:01] ubuntourist : I have to run. But OBS Studio is the Open Broadcast System Studio and is quite powerful. Think television studio with transitions between nultiple cameras, fade-in, fade-out, MIDI, green-screen, etc., etc.
[22:01] ubuntourist : Someone remember to save this chat and maybe post it on e-mail. (See the vertical ellipsis at the top of this window.)
