      • sm2n interested in doing the SSG

      • UDP difficult, yggdrasil, miredo, ipv6 vlan, spring relayhost
      • Not aware of any UDP solution that only needs the host to manage the setup
  • Chat channels: privacy, moderation, working groups, on-topic
    • Organisational space?
    • Bridging #chamber to IRC? Or another channel for high volume website chat?
    • Official Mumble server with mumble-web interface (and maybe Discord voice bridge)?
    • idea to have game-specific contacts to cross communities
  • Service (de)centralisation
    • FreeGamedev.net can host stuff, but the bus factor is currently more or less 1
  • provide a place and encouragement for devs to interact (freegamedev.net?)
    • A more open social media forum (Lemmy?) could be good for devs to create communities easily?
  • general goals and level of ambition, as well as how “growth” oriented/cohesive
    • Keep it small intentionally?
    • Community building! Promoting niche games?
    • Organized "mobs" to promote libregaming (with devs?), similar to Gaming on Linux?
    • Long term goal: some sort of Steam like launcher & integrated game ratings + community?
  • collaborative focus day with a shared todo list
    • Writing on tutorials? Outreach to specific communties to "commission" contributions?
    • hackathon kind of thing? What kind of topics?
  • cross-cutting concerns: matchmaking, netdev, community management, servers, ratings

Any Other Business

  • play 0ad, themanaworld, mindustry
  • try to organize the next meeting before end of March. Maybe make this a monthly or at least quarterly thing?
