[9:08pm] Olivia_: IT related there was almost a burning to the ground of IRC but it seems they'll keep updating the server the Pirate who maintains it she says she's tired and wanted to burn it to the ground.  They came up with another option to keep maintaining PirateIRC.

[9:11pm] Bosun: @olivia - what does PPI primarily use for meetings?
[9:12pm] Sayyida: BBB i think
[9:12pm] Sayyida: Big Blue Button
[9:12pm] Olivia_: Right now it's BigBlueButton.  It used to be jitsi but it's a nightmare with more than a couple people.  BBB started having issues too it's the usual shutting off the videos if you don't want issues.
[9:13pm] Bosun: Does Big Blue Button work well?
[9:13pm] jokeefe: I thought they used Mumble for audio only chats in the past
[9:13pm] Sayyida: define work well.
[9:13pm] Bosun: Perhaps we should try the same?
[9:13pm] jokeefe: Big Blue Button worked well for our conference
[9:13pm] Sayyida: yea it would be nice
[9:13pm] Bosun: Not crash.
[9:14pm] Olivia_: I've been pushing for Google Meets it requires no downloads or registration.  You just go to the link.  The only person who needs an account is who created it.  I went to a birthday party online the other week and 10 videos all on and nothing went wrong.
[9:14pm] jokeefe: As Secretary, it is nice to have a transcript
[9:14pm] Olivia_: I say that Pirates already use Youtube which is owned by Google.

[9:17pm] Bosun: If Yari is up for it, let's try a few options with our outreach meeting this week.
